San Francisco's Department of Public Works wants to replace 3,000 existing green trash cans with bigger and better-looking ones. The prototype being considered would cost taxpayers about $20,000 per can as of now.

"It's insane. Insane," said one San Francisco resident.
Too often, residents say, trash put into cans end up on sidewalks.
"They go looking for drugs. They go looking for things to recycle. In the neighborhood I live in, they bust them open, pull things out. Sometimes they get too full," said another city resident, Isaac Stevens.
Sleeker bins with sensors alerting crews when they're almost full would be more tamper-resistant, block rodents out and keep sidewalks cleaner, officials said.
Matt Haney, of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, has reservations.
"$20,000 a can is ridiculous," said Haney.
The costly cans even have designer names like the "Salt and Pepper," "Slim Silhouette," and the "Soft Square," which all feature roll-out liners or toters that can be mechanically lifted instead of manually taken out.
"Why are we still doing this? Rather than putting out a bunch of different cans that are already produced, that are much cheaper?" asked Haney.
The Department of Public Works installed 3,000 of the green cans in the 1990s. Even they admit the $20,000 price tag is expensive for a prototype but promise the cost will go down once it's mass-produced.
"I want us to be, frankly, the model for other cities. Portland, New York, Sydney, wherever it is across the world, to take our cans or to try to model their cans after ours," said Department of Public Works acting Director Alaric Degrafinried.

Want to see corruption in motion? Here it is: $20,000 per trash can
UPDATE: Rumor is going around that Nancy Pelosi has her hands in this deal. THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE, THAT IS HER DISTRICT. Only a rumor, but some things really do make sense!
The SUPER DUPER "keep the homeless out" and phone you when it's full SAN FRANCISCO can!
If anything can demonstrate what a sh*thole of corruption San Francisco is, this is it.
How this gets done: Corrupted official that got in via vote fraud has a buddy that makes fancy trash cans and/or orders them from China for $750.00 Yes, they are fancy. Maybe they are worth $1200. The city is billed $20,000, pays the buddy $20,000 per can, (3,000 of them) and he rakes in $60 million. He kicks back about half of that to his corrupted buddy who pushed the deal through, and they both buy mansions and yachts.
It does not matter how many fancy features they say these cans have, they are a $1,200 item and that is that. If they insisted on $1200, especially with a bulk purchase, that would be the price. $20,000 is fraud. Even $5,000 is, without question. Someone does not want a reasonable price because it is a platform for fraud. End of discussion.
I know damn well how this works because I have known several contractors. The prices are artificially inflated in all government projects because a payback to the official that assigns the winning bid is automatic, especially in leftist sh*tholes. The contractors simply accept it or the bid will go elsewhere. If the left can't be honest about where someone's cock belongs they will not be honest with ANYTHING. That's simply how the left is. That said, this is an absolutely egregious case.
