As a part of our 10 point plan, we set a goal of 200 more trash cans in SOMA, TL and downtown. We pushed hard, and thankfully the Mayor included funding for 80 Big Bellys in proposed budget. I then added funding for 60 more. So we got a total of 140 new Big Bellys THIS YEAR!

It would be cooler to have people who behaved liked civilized citizens. Tokyo has almost no public trash cans and it is the cleanest city in the world. Trash cans fix the symptom and not the cause

How do you think we should get people to “behave liked civilized citizens”?

Applying fines and the law for littering, defecating or urinating in public places, etc.

http://www.cohsf.org/Punishing.pdf SF tried all of that under Frank Jordan's MATRIX program in the early 1990s and guess what? It didn't work. People who couldn't afford to pay these fines anyway accumulated lots of them that weren't ever going to get paid

and it was a huge administrative hassle, deflecting resources, time and attention from preventative mental health, counseling, services, housing, etc.
