Oh Look, Honey!

Bronzed piles of poo? Oh! Not bronzed....
The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a resolution last week urging the Department of Public Works to approve a privately funded plan to install “commemorative bronze sidewalk plaques” in the districts of Supervisors Chris Daly and Ross Mirkarimi, both champions of the city’s homeless.
However, it doesn’t seem many of the supes bothered to read the resolution before voting “yes.”...the idea would be to place human-shaped plaques, about 2 feet by 2 feet, in sidewalks and inscribe them with details of the deceased’s lives and the circumstances of their deaths.
...[Ian ] Brennan [the man behind the project - and who spends his time commuting between San Francisco and Los Angeles] said the plaques are not intended to be provocative, but if the memorials upset people more than the reality of homelessness, “then it obviously illustrates the problem really well.”
