San Francisco found a novel approach to ridding a hillside park in an über-affluent neighborhood of its resident homeless population. The city spent $15,000 on a herd of goats, which ate away the thick underbrush that hid the encampments where the homeless folks slept and hung out. The homeless people left. Neighbors hope this means an end to campfires, dirty needles and trash.
I’m wondering… Where did the homeless people go? They didn’t just disappear. I guess they’re some other neighborhood’s problem now. And what about the goats? Did it hurt them to eat that trash? Did they swallow any dirty needles? Oh well, at least the rich people got their park back. Thank goodness for that, right?
