Dirty Business

Leaving Your Mark On The Mission

In today’s edition of how not to endear yourself to your neighbors, we received the following grievances and photo from a Capp Street tipster:

These yuppies put basically an entire house full of trash out on the street [Wednesday] evening. Neighbors were complaining but their reply was that they were waiting for sunset scavengers to pick it up, which more or less got people off their back. But when I woke up this morning all their shot was still outside. I called the non emergency line but all they would do is call the waste removal. These people need to be fined, since they clearly have no regard for the city or the people in it. Just sipping their cocktails, making bank on tech and just shit all over the city we call home.

Yuppies sipping cocktails, making bank on tech, and shitting all over San Francisco is quite the vivid image. And while this may or may not be the latest example of the obliviousness that often comes with tech wealth, it is most certainly an example of someone being an asshole.

So, in conclusion, don’t dump your garbage on the street, people. Come on. Capp Street Crap has enough material to work with without your help.

Please, as if the Mission is some spitting image of clean.  I guarantee the person complaining is some yuppie moved here this decade.  Let me tell you what this shithole looked like in the 90s

Oh please, as if something already being dirty is an excuse for being an obnoxious, inconsiderate asshole. 

Spillover, man. It’s a dangerous thing. 

Ignore - inebriated posting 

LOT more shit on the streets today then there used to be before 2.0.   Today’s dog owners think their dogs only poop in the tamagachi cloud and leave it to the real people to clean up their pup’s poop. 

“How am I supposed to push my child’s stroller around this massive heap of junk?!”

Uhh, it’s in the street. As usual: swing and a miss for m.

Spillover, man.  It’s a dangerous thing.

In what way is “we called Sunset Scavenger and they showed up three days later than they said they would” anything less than 100% plausible?  

Nevermind that YOU LIVE ON CAPP STREET.  Count yourself lucky that it’s just some cardboard boxes and not a pimp convention.

A couple doors down from me, everyone on my block leaves their crap, daily. Tired of that old mattress? Chair getting moldy? Put it in front of that-spot-on-the-block. And believe me, it isn’t cocktail-sipping yuppies putting stuff there. It’s the folks who have lived here for decades, who are just happy it’s not in their basement anymore.

In the old days,of 10+ years ago,  it used to be easier for folk to put excess furniture out for pickup by Sunset Scavenger.   I remember when the garbage company did an every four month or so day you could throw out the big stuff for a group of street.  I guess to save money they can’t do that anymore.   

yep same on my street. The new folks are not throwing their crap on the street, its the long term residents.

Are cocktails a problem, or just the fact that they *sip* them?

So lemme get this straight - if you’re rich it’s ok to dump your trash on the street because the poors do it anyways, and it’s the Mission so HEY! STREET CRED THERE’S CRAP IN MY STREET LOL! Crap everywhere! Craptacular! In fact, I’m going to ellis act some poors and dump their crap in the streetz and be all “O HAI! IM IN UR MISSION BEING A COOL POOR!”

This story buries the lead. It’s obvious that this is a carefully constructed cat parklet. 

When I first moved to San Francisco we had a thing called “Community”.

What ever happened to the subsidized rent proposal for residents who have been here since the early ‘90’s? That may solve more than a few of these problems.

Nah I think subsidized rent should start one year prior to your arrival, you havent been here long enough„ only real San Franciscans should get subsidized rent.

My neighbors do this constantly and they sure ain’t yuppies.

BRING BACK BIG TRASH NIGHT!

every apartment in SF gets a free bulky item pick up per year (single family homes get 2). If you’ve used yours up, at least have the decency to call 311 and report it so they’ll come pick it up.  Not too difficult… Rich and poor alike do this. Don’t make everything into an anti-techie thing
