Never heard of anything like this before unless they are cleaning up known contaminated sites.
What, are there thousands of needles and blood all over the place or something?
Seems a bit overkill and scaremongering to me. Here where I am the council just pick up the needles and let the rain do the rest.

They are bleaching streets due to people using our streets as toilets.
An infected guy was selling fruit downtown (they say).
They blame him for spreading it.
San Diego has welcomed the homeless for decades.
This is our reward..

I visited there a couple of times in the 90's. It was beautiful and I loved it so much.

I think it puts the public in more danger for those that already have a disease and are "liberal" with their needle placement.
Single use needles are discarded after use because they can get another one, and the cops will find them in a frisk. The current policies of LE and the City are responsible for discarded needles 'laying around'.
If they opened 'safe' houses for addicts to use, then offer them treatment , they would do more to improve the problem. Where did I read that program is working in Europe?

Sounds like they are really cleaning the streets up.
I just hope they don't catch something that bleach can't clean off.
Only in California.
I guess someone will misconstrue what they are doing and say it is racist, because bleach makes things white.

That could be Portugal. I recall a few stories earlier in the year that they stopped throwing them in jail and sent them to the hospital instead.
Those seemed quite positive stories but how it'll work out for them long-term is still in the air.
