If you plan to visit San Francisco in the future this is a map that you might want to keep in mind
Is it a weather map? No.
This is a heat map showing the human waste laying on the sidewalks of San Francisco. If you drilled down on the site ((Human) Wasteland, you could actually see where every pile of poop was in the city.
The "Poop Map" came about from a web developer taking data from calls and reports to San Francisco's 311 help line, where citizens report the need for public services, and creating the map for Zillow's SF office Fall 2014 Hack Week contest.
Web developer Jennifer Wong (a.k.a. mochimachine) updated the map on a monthly basis through 2015 but has since disbanded the updates. Wong discovered the map was being used by those who were trying to highlight the lunacy of the city's response to the homeless and its sanctuary city status.
This apparently upset Wong's liberal leanings because she said the map was created solely to point the city to where they should be building more public restrooms-- not to point any fingers at the homeless problem.
You have to wonder if the poop problem was this bad 3-4 years ago what the "Poop Map" would look like today?
The poop problem has become so bad that San Francisco recently logged over 16,000 feces complaints in one seven day period on its 311 help line.
16,000! That averages nearly 2,300 complaints per day. 96 per hour. Almost 2 per minute.
A website and related app that allows local residents to request maintenance or non-emergency services from the city has received 16,015 complaints with the keyword ‘feces’ in the last week at the time of this writing, and many pertain to human waste in public places.
Additionally, words and phrases synonymous with ‘feces’ are found in thousands more grievances.
Many of the complaints also connect the fecal matter to vagrants and homeless encampments - a sight all too common now across California.
Users can geotag the location in question, and also provide photos to support their claim.
Here are a few examples of citizen reports to the 311 line.
“Homeless encampment is blocking sidewalk and creates a health hazard w trash and feces,” writes one user. “Please move them, and send a cleaning crew. Sidewalk is impassable, forcing pedestrians into the street.”
“Homeless individuals sleeping along Funston between Clement and Geary,” writes another user. “Observed homeless people shooting up at 5pm on Monday, July 2nd. Lots of feces and garbage in the area. Please clean up area and see if homeless individuals need services.”
"Strong smell of feces on post on block between cedar and post," wrote one denizen. "There must be a ton of it somewhere nearby."
Let's put those 16,000 reports on that 311 help line in context.
San Francisco averaged less than 14,000 calls per week on its 911 line during 2017.
How is it that a city in the United States of America is getting more calls reporting human waste on its sidewalks than 911 calls?
Bear in mind that this is also a city with a population of 884,000 according to recent estimates.
That means that, on average, with 16,000 feces reports per week, that nearly every one of the city's residents is reporting a poop sighting once during the year.
All of this might explain why a large medical convention that annually meets in San Francisco with 15,000 attendees and pumps $40 million into the city has cancelled plans to meet in the city in the future due to its "dirty streets" and "homeless".
You have to wonder when cities like San Francisco, that are governed by far-left Democrats, are going to start running their cities for the benefit of law-abiding, hardworking taxpayers instead of vagrants, drug addicts and illegal immigrants?
When is public safety and public health going to take precedence over "progressive" politics?
San Francisco liberals like to claim that they are "progressives". What is progressive about what is going on in San Francisco and other sanctuary cities? It looks to me that this world class city is regressing into a third world cesspool.
How do you explain it?
Perhaps syndicated radio talk show host Michael Savage, who is a long-time San Francisco resident, has it right. He says there is only one explanation.
"Liberalism is a mental disorder."
It used to be that a visitor to San Francisco got pooped out by walking hills like this one.

No more.
San Francisco has progressed so far that it has regressed back to the 17th Century.
