San Francisco is a weird magnet for poop. Travel around the city in the grimmest of Easter Egg hunts, and you'll find turds basking on sidewalks, chilling in flower gardens, gumming up subway escalators—hell, you'll even find them littering the roof of a three-story building with no roof access.
I assumed upon moving here this was the marking of irresponsible dog owners. I wish I could still believe that. But Jennifer Wong has torn the brown veil asunder with "(Human) Wasteland," a revolting map of all the anthropogenic excrement around San Francisco.
Wong's venture into crappy cartography began with her needing a hack-week project for her company, HotPads. So the San Francisco native scoured the web for "cool" data sets, and found that the Department of Public Works, for whatever reason, keeps records of sidewalk cleanings for reason of "human waste or urine."

America devolves into a Turd World country
San Francisco has become Calcutta.
With all the ‘stool stuffing’ going on, you wouldn’t think that this would be a problem.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone considering it’s Nancy-P’s district!
I bet some libtard received a government grant to study this crap. A great use of our tax dollars for sure.
Turds: The San Francisco Treat!
Tracking animals by looking for their scat.
Maybe that IS the problem..no control of the ol poop chute
This is a real crappy story.
It’s obvious to me that the homeless in this city are too well fed.
The SF government will solve this problem by hiding the data in the future.
No real surprise after all Tenderloin, SOMA, the Mission are all dumps..... and ‘gentrification’ hasn’t helped. Long ago the do gooders in SF decided that not hurting people’s feelings was more important than health or hygiene
I have heard Paris is the same
In this case is takes a state. Everyone knows California
is the brown state. Brown from the governor to the sexual
preference. Brown. All brown.
It’s bad, but nowhere near this bad:

As a young man who travelled to SF in 1973 to hang out at City Lights Books, I was shocked by the dogs running wild, and dog-do absolutely on all sidewalks. It seemed to indicate a streak of anarchy there.
It’s just another Nancy Pelosi Appreciation Day!
They have them all the time, it’s a regular event.
