It’s easy to describe SF as far worse than a “poop city”, which is frankly overblown anyway. Maybe “the city where the rich are content to listen to people die on their doorstep”.
- graeme 8y agoThe SV people I follow on twitter don't seem too content. A bit part of the issue is lack of shelters, which aren't built to to limited funding or zoning restrictions, correct? SF doesn't actually have more homeless per capita, they just have more unsheltered people. And most come from the bay area. I don't know the exact cause of the problem, but if it was a problem money could solve on its own it would have been done already. The homelessness issue in SF is pereniall bad press for tech companies.
- wilde 8y agoI’m not sure the companies see it that way. There’s money but it’s going to protect their tax breaks. https://www.citylab.com/equity/2018/10/san-francisco-prop-c-homeless-ballot-measure/573358/ https://www.citylab.com/equity/2018/10/san-francisco-prop-c-...

- thatswrong0 8y agoIt’s really not overblown. I live downtown.
- drb91 8y agoMe too! But there are dogs and homeless people all over; poop management issues are really not unique to SF. I am in Germany at the moment and my poop-dodging skills are still in high use.
- thatswrong0 8y agoCompared to other major American cities like Chicago or NYC though, it’s really really bad. It’s not even close. The number of times I’ve seen people actively shitting in front of me is way too damn high.
- drb91 8y agoHomeless? Sure, why not. Shitting in front of me? The world is ending.
