Liberal stupidity knows no limit. They will need a grant to clean the waste water after it rains and washes into the storm drain. Looking for a federal handout.

They started doing this in May 2017. Has anybody heard anything more? How is it holding up now?

what i find hilarious is that the state is basically broke, yet they seem to have enough money for crap liked this. and then the citizens will complain about how high their taxes are.

and with their government doing stupid shit like this, it's not wonder why. yet they keep electing the same morons and then keep bitching about the same things.

13% state income tax in the highest bracket which is a majority of the middle class. Heard on the news the other day, $110,000/year was below the poverty line in San Fran.

Had a guy on my team about 5-6 years ago who lived in San Franv(remote worker). Flat out told me they would never be able to live there if his family had not owned that house since he was young. Mind you he made close to $95K by himself back then.
