OK, how about "Uber for toilets"? Clean a toilet, get paid. Cameras and machine learning to check what a clean and dirty toilet look like. Sign up, and you get access to cleaning supplies and can turn the hose on. Works like retrieving dockless scooters.

What's wrong with the city/state having properly paid employees doing the cleaning? Why the need to create _more_ precarious typically underpaid jobs?

I really don't get it.

Because then you get massively overpaid jobs with no oversight, which taxpayers are forced to fund. [1]

SF already has massive taxes and too many overpaid workers, and the city is still a mess. There is no accountability. Throwing more money at it is not going to help.

> By far the biggest chunk goes to pay city employees. Almost half — $4.7 billion — is spent on the salaries and benefits of 30,626 city employees.

> Clean a toilet

for that you really need to have the toilets to begin with. SF, and in general American cities, have no public toilets ( i mean the number they have is just a noise around 0).
