"There's Poop Everywhere": San Francisco's Office District Not Only A Ghost Town, It's Also Covered In S**t

Everyone knows that San Francisco is the nation's largest public toilet - requiring the city to employ six-figure 'poop patrol' cleanup team, however a new report from the city Controller's Office really puts things in poo-spective.

For starters, feces were found far more often in commercial sectors, covering "approximately 50% of street segments in Key Commercial Areas and 30% in the Citywide survey," second only to broken glass as can be seen in the 'illegal dumping' section.

If you're wondering about the city's fecal methodology, look no further than a footnote on page 43;

Feces also includes bags filled with feces that are not inside trash receptacles. Feces that are spread or smeared on the street, sidewalk, or other objects along the evaluation route are counted. Stains that appear to be related to feces but have been cleaned are not counted. Bird droppings are excluded.

As far as where most of the poo is found, Nob Hill takes the top spot, followed by the Tenderloin and The Mission districts.

"It’s terrible; this street is covered," Tenderloin resident Joe Souza told The San Francisco Standard earlier this month. "There’s poop everywhere. You always see it along the wall and in front of the garage there."

Meanwhile, nearly 2/3 of key commercial routes reported moderate to severe street litter, vs. 41% of the citywide streets struggling with the same problem.

As the San Francisco Standard reports;

San Francisco’s commercial and residential streets are also highly tagged up, with every neighborhood except one—Visitacion Valley—reporting high levels of graffiti last year. The issue is once again worse in commercial areas, of which 71% said they had severe or moderate graffiti.

“In terms of actual counts of graffiti observed, there were about 10 times (160,000 vs. 16,000 respectively) as many instances of graffiti reported in the Key Commercial Areas survey in comparison to the Citywide sample,” the report said.

And San Francisco’s favorite cleanliness fixation, human or animal feces, continues to be a sore spot for the city: Almost half of the surveyed commercial areas observed feces. Citywide, that figure was just 30%.

San Francisco's poopocalypse comes amid a staggering commercial office vacancy rate as a combination of pandemic-era work-from-home policies, and people fleeing the city's notorious violence and poo-covered streets have made the once-thriving city into a ghost town.

Nob Hill used to be the nice part of town. I was in Bangalore on a work trip in April - it was cleaner than much of SF now. No fentanyl zombies, either.

Everything will be fine. Just keep voting Democrat.

I was in SF in February, and took some out of town guests around for the day. I didn’t see a single instance of this. Same for two other times in the last 1.5 years. Now, I didn’t go to the Tenderloin. But if conservatives greatly exaggerate these stories, no one will believe. SF has plenty of real problems without making stuff up.

As an act of decency I won’t link the movie clip here,
but this is the line from Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) in Lethal Weapon:

“I’m Getting Too Old For This Sh#@.” 💩

Once no one would have believed there was an official Figure K map above with Feces by Neighborhood.
But it’s there.

[CatOwner]

Sounds like walking in downtown SF is a crapshoot.

Well, you can vote your way into communism, but you’ll have to shoot your way out, assuming you even have guns or bullets!

[frank ballenger]

Wow.

And people used to complain the Jefferson Airplane and Grateful Dead concerts in the parks were annoying.

And Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Gregory Corso reading poetry was a nuisance.

The fact that the California State Board of Health hasn’t red-tagged SF as an extreme health hazard and unfit for human habitation in the western sense of sanitation, given all the bs we hear about the environment this and the environment that, shows what a hypocritical and cynical bunch of criminals the gang in Sacramento really is.

[frank ballenger]

Yes but it shows people had faith it would all come out okay in the end-——or from the end.

It needs to get worse ASAP.

The sooner life becomes intolerable, the better.

Go down near the convention center. It's appalling how bad it is.

I have to push back here.
I am an eyewitness.
I have been in SF (and LA) for the last two weeks.
In this time I have twice walked the length of Market Street, from Powell to Embarcadero (the Ferry building), and the Union Square - Moscone areas.
I have not seen any sign of feces in my travels.
There is something off about this survey.

[buwaya]

I have been to the convention center, just last weekend, and the streets (Howard, etc) were pristine. Also down Howard up to Central Computer.

Musically,

“If You’re Going IN San Francisco, bring some TP and a roll to spare”

“I left a pile in San Francisco”

“San Franciscan Shites”

and a medley:

“Do you know the way to San Jose / We gotta get outta this place”

Almost half of the surveyed commercial areas observed feces. Citywide, that figure was just 30%.

When you say that the observed feces in an area is just 30%, you know that you live in an actual, literal sh*thole.

Liberalism: the most destructive force known to man.
