Dancing in the streets! Or something like that.

The LA Times entrances with Ordinance Bans Public Urination, but all are not happy in La La Land:

Some advocates for the homeless were outraged.

Er, that's what they do. That's all they do.

They accused elected officials of criminalizing an act that many homeless people often have no choice but to commit because of the lack of public toilets in Los Angeles,

That must be it!

... and said officials should instead spend their time trying to solve underlying social problems that cause homelessness.

Good luck, although I'm sure a large infusion of cash to the "advocates" will make them stop whining.

Council members, on the other hand, said the law is necessary because human waste is a problem from downtown to West Los Angeles.

What's especially puzzling to officials is that people seem to be relieving themselves outdoors, even in areas such as Venice Beach, where clean public toilets abound.

Charming.

Friday's action is the latest in a flurry of quality-of-life ordinances enacted by the council over the last few months. They include increased regulations for taco stands and ice cream trucks, and seizing the cars of those who illegally dump sofas, try to buy drugs or solicit prostitution.

Those pesky sofa dumpers again!

UPDATE: The Curmudgeon has his own pictorial take (natch) on this one and the observation:

All kidding aside, let them piss on on Barbra Streisand's lawn; she won't care.

And maybe she'll toss them a few bucks if they help her hang the wash on the line!
