The new SnapCrap app is bringing San Francisco's poop problem into focus.

The free app launched Tuesday for iOS users invites people to take photographs of feces on streets and sidewalks that need cleaning and delivers a report to the city's 311 hotline.

Sean Miller is the brains behind the app and told NBC Bay Area he was inspired to start the project when he moved from Vermont to San Francisco in 2017 and was surprised to find himself constantly stepping over human waste.

San Francisco is known for its filthy streets; the 311 line receives about 65 calls regarding sidewalk poop every day. To address the issue, the Department of Public Works announced in April it hired five staffers to join a "Poop Patrol" to steam clean sidewalks and clean up feces.

One things lefties are really good at is coming up with catchy names.

We carry more computing power than NASA did when they put a man on the moon, and we use it for this.

Another useless, feel-good gesture by lefties. Heaven forbid they should ever deal with the root cause of social ills. Nope. Stupid things like apps and hash tags are all they can muster.

From another article on the “issue”, I read that those poop squad jobs are paying 6 figures.

That was in 1969, just two years after the "Summer Of Love."

They should distribute doggy bags so SF denizens can do more than just take pictures.

Does this show you the best places to crap on the sidewalk? This would be great for the homeless, if it shows on their Obamaphones.
