OLD SAN FRANCISCO MINT BUILDING ATTRACTS HOMELESS

I hate to close this issue on a downer, but look what's become of the Granite Lady, the Old San Francisco Mint building. She endured the 1906 earthquake, and hopefully she'll endure this indignity as well. -Editor

When I walked from the Chronicle to Uber on Market Street last week, I smelled urine on every block — and more than once. San Francisco’s Main Street is shameful. So if the Supes want to warn people about social phenomena that are painfully obvious, how about this warning for tourists?

WARNING: Parts of San Francisco smell like a toilet.
