I'm from Vancouver where there's plenty of homeless. The Tenderloin's similar to Vancouver's Downtown Eastside (in which I worked for years), but one thing that I noticed that seemed more common in the Tenderloin was human faeces on sidewalks.

In a nutshell, the city doesn't have enough money to install public toilets which are deemed appropriate for use by the homeless etc. Not sure what the exact requirements were, but that's the nub of it. Of course, the city is giving payroll tax breaks to Twitter and other tech companies because they threatened to leave the city (to Australia at one point!) if they didn't get it. There's a link there somewhere... Anyway, end result is that Twitter employees are going to have to cycle in shit, walk in shit, and stand on BART escalator shit. Karma is beautiful.
