Cost of extra police on Halloween ‘a wash’
- The Halloween nonevent in the Castro last week may have been a dud of a party, but at least an added presence didn’t cost the San Francisco Police Department any more than the previous year.

More cops to patrol Castro on Halloween
- Scores of paddy wagons will fill the Castro on Wednesday night to imprison costumed party-goers arrested for drinking in public and to ferry them to the county jail.
Residents want Halloween portable toilets
- Hints emerged at a community meeting Thursday night that could reassure Castro locals who fear their buildings, yards and streets will be used as urinals and toilet bowls by throngs of costumed revelers at the annual, unofficial Halloween bash this year, after The City previously announced it would not provide public restrooms.
