v is for victory!

homeless people are so prevalent in san francisco that, when the city decided to tear up the lawn in front of city hall to plant some locally grown produce, they had to hire security guards to stop the homeless people from eating the produce.

it costs them $3500 a week in security charges.

but hey, let's look into those charges... apparently it's not to protect the food from being eaten, it's to stop homeless people from peeing on the food. and how safe is san francisco's civic center at night? well the cost of security is high because apparently the security guards are afraid to be there by themselves amongst all the potentially peed on plants.

in case you were wondering, the plot is about 30 feet wide and 200 feet long, surrounded by a 3 foot high fence of hay.

now that's what the Bou' calls a victory garden!
