Dang, there goes all our fun:
The initiative cracks down on a wide range of behavior that some say make Berkeley's streets inhospitable to residents and visitors alike. Among the activities that will be banned are smoking near buildings in commercial areas, lying on the sidewalk, public urination and defecation, drinking in public, possessing a shopping cart and shouting in public.
Happy Summer of Love 40th anniversary.

Seems my part of Ft. Wayne ought to take a page or two from THEM,'cause we got it all goin' on down here!
And don't forget to add walking down the MIDDLE of the street while 2 perfectly good sidewalks remain unused (except for the dogs who crap there).

When a conservative community initiates a policy like this it's because they are snobby intolerant pricks that look down upon the homeless.
When a liberal community initiates a policy like this it's for the good of the homeless.
What a nice way of saying, "Liberals don't like to step over sleeping, urine soaked homeless people in front of Starbucks either".
Thank God Paul Revere wasn't alive today, shouting atop his galloping horse through the streets of Berkeley, or we'd still be a British colony.
