> The public toilet will be built by union workers who will “earn a living wage and benefits,”
San Francisco doesn't owe anything to the tradespeople. When you share a border with Mexico, there is absolutely no reason not to outsource.
Almost every city that can rapidly scale up infrastructure have access to some type of cheap labour. The rapid construction in the middle east and asia didn't happen by using union labor for everything. Nobody likes talking about the elephant in the room but that doesn't make it any less true.
Most of the red tape and bureaucracy come from having too much local rights and democracy.
If you can't build housing cheaply, then no amount of union rights and progressive policies would reduce the amount of homeless people.
i mean, the city has already hired police officers, who are armed. we know they're not solving murders or catching thieves, so i'm sure there's plenty of time to round up a work crew from the local population that will benefit from the toilet
