San Francisco is now using urine repellent paint to avoid the smell of urine on buildings throughout the city. There is an enormous homeless problem in the city, and they often urinate on the side of buildings. The city is hoping the paint will deter the homeless from peeing on the buildings. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

Is this where the city should put their focus? Do you support pee repellent paint? Let us know in the comments below.

“Late-night drunken revelers of San Francisco beware — A pee-proof paint job is in the works. Apparently, the city is tired of dealing with public urination and decided to take a proactive approach. Fines weren’t working, so San Francisco decided to follow the example set by Hamburg, Germany.

The city of Hamburg coated buildings with a unique urine-repellent paint. What happens is that when an individual decides to “whizz” on a wall, the paint causes their urine to quite literally bounce off. The building is protected from smelling like pee and the guilty party ends up with urine on their shoes and pants. Not too surprisingly, the pee-proof paint job cut down on the public urination-related woes of Hamburg.”
