How does it compare to other cities? Do other cities have dedicated "poop patrols"? Is the outcry about public defecation about gentrification or is it a genuine problem? How can we get accurate comparative statistics that also show how the homeless are treated. Like I have heard that by (almost) decriminalising public defecation and urination the city puts less stress on the homeless who wouldn't be able to afford any fines, and in "cleaner" cities the homeless have a harder life.

- nutjob2 8y agoYou do occasionally encounter it elsewhere, maybe everywhere, even in "clean" cities but the scale is incomparable to most other cities.
