I read last year that San Francisco had to finally address the problem. It was hurting their tourism and convention business.
They created five new positions at an annual salary of $185,000 a year each to pick up human feces on the streets and sidewalks of the city.
I haven't seen any follow-up in the press which tells me the program is either not working out or they are going to have to do more to get a "shovel" on it.
If it was cleaning up the city, the tourism office would be bragging and putting out ads about how "fresh" the new city is. To tell people is is okay to travel their again.
But my problem with all this filth and disgust (Los Angeles included) is not so much the conditions the cities are in already. After all, if you leave spoiled food out in your kitchen and don't clean your house, you'll be infested with roaches, et. al. in no time.
My problem is how did these once grand cities devolve into these gutter dump sh*tholes in the first place?
I think we all know the answer to that question. democRATS have governed them for years.
