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.

[Fight Club] Was Tyler Durden a real person that the narrator ... - Reddit
Tyler was never a real person. He was the embodiment of what Jack thought was cool. He was fit, had style, and could talk to girls. The entire time Tyler Durden is a figment of his imagination. He was never real, and he was based off of multiple people/things/ideas.
**********************************************************
I haven’t been able to find ANYTHING “REAL” about “Tyler Durden”. Minimally, I think it’s safe to say that he’s no “LEADING CONSERVATIVE” in America and he probably doesn’t even exist.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, I do agree with you that “Conservatives” like “Liberals” do tend to OVERSTATE and HYPE news events!
Look at the bright side, nary a single plastic straw to be seen
I just can’t understand why people keep voting for the same Democrats that are making their cities and state worse every year. Do Democrats like to live in feces covered cities? Do they like their stores and transportation unsafe to be in? Why?
The situation will continue to be ignored until a Cholera outbreak happens.
SF is now officially a “Turd World City”.
They are power washing sidewalks-—but where is that material going?
EPA has already sued SF over polluting the SF BAY.
I never went there.
