Every time I stop staring at the ground for more than two seconds I step in shit. Me and my gf have a system where I look down and she looks up. I stop us from walking into feces, she stops us from walking into people. The city is amazing though and does a lot to help people out of poverty and I think it's sad it doesn't get much recognition for that
I've never been to SF, but we just moved to NorCal earlier this year and I'm SO stoked to visit. I absolutely believe that there's a homeless issue there because I've been to major metropolitan areas before: Houston, Baltimore, Vegas, Paris, Tokyo, etc etc etc but I simply do NOT buy into the hype of there just being endless amounts of human shit and discarded needles in the streets.
In my head, I have it built up as this glamorous place with good food and pretty bay views with the huge hills and colorful houses and streetcars.
Honestly I think I want to spend my birthday there in March, and I'm pretty excited. Any and all bar/museum/restaurant/atlas obscura oddity recc's welcome from locals/people who have been are welcome!
Almost never see needles on the ground. There is a lot of shit, but not like endless shit like that. The city is 99% shit free even counting homeless areas because of the city's efforts to address it. However for me, I've lived in many cities where it wasn't as common so seeing multiple piles a day is jarring to me. But as long as you watch where you're going, it's not a problem.
It may be a problem, but certainly not to the point where SF isn't a beautiful city, it definitely is. I've never seen anywhere like it! The people here are so friendly, too! It gave my partner a bit of culture shock actually.
As for some recommendations, I love pier 39. I don't go out much but that's always fun. There's a spot to watch sea lions there, too! And the civic center and ferry building are a must see ofc. One more thing: There's a farmer's market by the library in front of the civic center on Wednesdays and Sundays iirc, it's very cheap and the fruits and veggies are so much better than what stores sell, especially the fruit.
I'm glad you like your city, but I'll be over here, not living somewhere I need a dedicated two person system to avoid walking through human feces.
It's kind of amazing just how much that simply isn't a problem in so very much of the world, and how adaptable people are to bad situations.
That's fair, the poop is a problem. I've been in some really bad places and was blown away how quickly people adapt and find some sense of normalcy.
Where are you living?? I've walked through the TL and a bunch of other supposedly "bad" areas of SF without having that problem..
The area on market street from trader Joe's to the bay foods market is one of the worst, if you've been around there. 6th Street and the surrounding streets are pretty bad, too. A lot of it is crusted to the ground and hard to spot if you aren't actually looking for it though. But a lot of it isn't human shit like people joke about, just dog shit.
Why not just use the poop map?
I actually don't carry a smart phone on me anymore and I live in the ghettos anyways so I assume it would be hard to keep up with it. They power wash my street twice a day and it's still covered in shit
