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.
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.
"It's terrible; this street is covered," Tenderloin resident Joe Souza told The San Francisco Standard earlier this month.
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.
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.
