Dailywire STILL has no credibility. They'd rather omit important information in order to sensationalize rather than report accurately.
The full story is about tracking the homeless. A woman won a competition that used complaints about human feces and urine phoned in to the city’s Department of Public Works to locate where the homeless were in order to provide services.
"“There’s not much choice other than the street when a homeless person needs a bathroom,” said Wong. “It’s pretty clear where the need is.”
As human waste complaints rose, the Department of Public Works launched a pilot program in the summer to deliver and collect portable toilets for the homeless every day. Complaints in the area have dropped, and the city is considering expanding the operation to other areas.
The maps prompted some tongue-in-cheek humor about human excrement. But they also started a conversation about the need for affordable housing in the increasingly expensive Bay Area, as well as for toilets, laundry facilities and showers for the homeless. She donated some of her winnings to a project that provides mobile toilets and showers to the homeless."
