San Francisco is taking a new data-driven approach to a longtime city problem: human excrement.
For decades, feces on streets and sidewalks has been one of the biggest quality-of-life issues for San Francisco residents and visitors, particularly in the hard-edged Tenderloin, home base for many of the city's homeless and the nonprofits that provide them clothes, addiction help and meals.
Now, after a chorus of complaints and a month spent mapping the highest concentrations of human excrement in the Tenderloin, the Department of Public Works on Tuesday will roll out the city's latest approach: mobile bathroom stations at the three most well-used areas.
Each station will include two specially outfitted portable toilets, a sink, a needle disposal bin and a dog waste station, all mounted on a flatbed trailer.
"We're championing our residents' right to clean streets and a safe place to do their business with dignity," said Supervisor Jane Kim, who represents the area and has been pursuing a public toilet program since fall of 2012.
The city is calling the effort the Tenderloin Pit Stop, and officials are trying to learn from the past.

The fact that the officials in that town foresee problems with extended times in these receptacles testifies that they predominance of those who would use them don’t intend to use them for the stated purpose. The city is just plain sick and diseased to the point of irredeemable oblivion.
The SF government is corrupt. The people are, in generally, disgusting, immoral, and probably don’t understand the concept of bathing. Having people live in and walk in fecal matter is a problem that was solved over 100 ago by basic sanitation methods. They are all insane, overly-”tolerant”, fools. It used to be a beautiful city. Not anymore.
Lieberals have turned this beautiful city into a dumping grounds. Literally. It’s time to take back our streets America! Put these homeless people back into the institutions where they will get the care they need. What have we allowed ourselves to become?
“OK. Item number four on the agenda is about our problem with feces in the street.”
“Is that a new band?”
“No, it’s turds on the sidewalk.”
“Oh.”
I think that we should approach this problem in a modern, progressive manner.”
“Didn’t we try that once before? Didn’t we pay people to not take a growler on the sidewalk?”
“Yes, the ‘Buck A Dump Program’ didn’t work out. But that’s because the Republicans didn’t give us enough money.”
“So what’s our high tech solution going to be.”
“You’ve seen those robot vacuum cleaners? Well, we have The Super Pooper Seven Thousand! It’s the latest in automated pooper scoopers.”
“Didn’t that thing scoop up Nancy Pelosi in the demonstration?”
“There’s always some problems with any new technology.”
They’ll crap right next to the toilets. It’s their “lifestyle”.
Year round pleasant weather and a local government that does nothing to discourage their influx.
Years ago, the homeless would use the restrooms of restaurants and other public places. Many restaurants installed locking mechanisms on their bathroom doors. You had to get a token from your waiter if you wanted to use the facilities.
Bwaaa!!!
If they concluded that the highest concentration of human excrement was in the Tenderloin, they obviously didn’t visit the Board of Supervisors.
