Oscar Wilde once said, \u201cit\u2019s an odd thing but anyone who disappears is said to be in San Francisco.\u201d Indeed, with the weather, view, and diversity, San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the U.S. But then, every city has a dark side, and San Francisco is no exception. San Francisco, as small as it is, is covered by poop – dog and human poop. According to the San Francisco Department of Animal<\/a>, there are around 120,000 dogs in San Francisco, making it one of the most dog-friendly cities. In addition to our furry friends, there are over 7,000 homeless individuals in San Francisco. Sounds a lot better than New York and Los Angeles, you might say. But the lack of shelters and a better system<\/a> is putting the city in danger.<\/p>\n

Last year, our sister site RealtyHop<\/a> took a look at the number of animal\/human waste violations made to the SF 311 and found that in 2017, San Francisco residents reported over 20,800 poop sightings, that\u2019s over 450 per square mile! It was so bad that the city government finally launched the Poop Patrol program to proactively mitigate the crisis last year. Is the \u201cshituation\u201d finally under control?<\/p>\n
