The city of San Francisco has a major crime problem and an equally bad homelessness problem.
The city is plagued by dirty needles and human waste on the sidewalks.
The cost of living is through the roof and there is very little affordable housing.
So what is the city doing? They are considering buying trash cans that cost $20,000 each. Makes sense, right?

The Washington Examiner reports:
San Francisco’s expensive trash problem
The trash cans in San Francisco might be worth more than your car.
To fight the city’s growing garbage problem, San Francisco officials are considering investing in top-notch, high-tech waste bins that could cost up to $20,000 each. The Department of Public Works sees it as a necessary investment; the taxpayers see it as another example of leftist insanity.
“It’s insane. Insane,” one resident told CBS News.
A committee on the board of supervisors has been working with a tech company to develop these new, custom-made trashcans that even have their own designer names: the “Salt and the Pepper,” the “Slim Silhouette,” and the “Soft Square.” The prototypes are supposed to prevent the cans from overflowing with trash and stop people from rummaging through them — two common problems that result in trash being left all over the city’s sidewalks…
“$20,000 a can is ridiculous,” Matt Haney, one of the board’s members, said. “Why are we still doing this? Rather than putting out a bunch of different cans that are already produced, that are much cheaper?”
Who on Earth thought this was a good idea?

They originally wanted to spend $20,000 per trash can, they spend $800,000 annually for a ‘poop patrol’. They have 8000 homeless. Hmm What would be the most humane expenditure to focus on?https://t.co/94qBPlrTHr

So instead of having just regular trashcans and spending money on more affordable housing and mental health help…San Fran is spending $12k a pop for “high tech” trashcans? WTF kind of sense does that make? https://t.co/S8GtJfHKgn

San Francisco may be beyond help at this point.

That’s probably a good buy for a Leftist gubment entity! They are all fools & lying, cheating & stealing is the Democrat way.
All they need is two one to put Newsom in and one for Pelosi.
When is “god” going to shake San FranFREAKshow and the rest of Californication off into the Pacific?
The photo doesn’t look very high tech. It doesn’t even look medium tech.
yea steven but it has the designer name. that means propietary name rights are expensive. lmao
Are the Mayor AND the entire city council retarded, or are they just trying to break the bank?
Well, they’re not new designs either! Seattle has had similar “hard to dig into” trash cans for like a decade plus. So, I’d be looking into the company that is giving them nothing new. This smells like money laundering is taking place.
So how do I get in on the contract to supply the cans? I want a piece of the pie those LEFTISTS wanna dish out. I’ll take the money they wanna throw in the trash.
Just goes to show there are more people on the take. All demon-rats no doubt. Now they include the little man whose wife needs a new car :} Should fire the lot of them.
Instead of spending up to $20,000 per trash can in an attempt prevent trash from overflowing, why not use the money to buy a new trash truck and use it to drive around and empty the existing trash cans.
