San Francisco office district not only a ghost town but it is also covered in sh*t!
There's poop everywhere.
SAN FRANCISCO, Kalifornia (PNN) - May 25, 2023 - Everyone knows that San Francisco is the nation's largest public toilet - requiring the city to employ a six-figure “poop patrol” cleanup team, however, a new report from the city Controller's Office really puts things in perspective.
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.
If you're wondering about the city's fecal methodology, look no further than a footnote on page 43 of the report.
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 poop is found, Nob Hill takes the top spot, followed by the Tenderloin and Mission districts.
"It’s terrible; this street is covered," said Tenderloin resident Joe Souza 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.
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.
San Francisco’s favorite cleanliness fixation, human or animal feces, continues to be a sore spot for the city. Almost half 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 poop-covered streets have made the once-thriving city into a ghost town.
Ed. Note: This is disgusting. These are disgusting people. This city is a disgusting city. San Francisco is a blot on the state. The entire city government should be disbanded; the people who live in San Francisco should take matters into their own hands; and the people who are causing these problems by leaving their feces in the streets should be tarred and forcibly run out of town on a rail.
