Ca. the socialist sewer where liberal ideas turn to **** but don't float away.
There are plenty of right wing hole in the wall places with needles and filth, as those places are where much of the worst opioid use in the country exists. Also, San Francisco's population density means that's more likely to occur in a smaller area rather than be spread out in rural outposts where it's not as noticeable.
I don't disagree that it's an awful problem and shameful that people who are living with more dignity are subjected to that kind of squalor and disregard for public health. Drug addicts aren't exactly the most neighborly people though, but they drag an area down whether it's in San Francisco or rural Appalachia. Unfortunately, there are too many in both.

Also, to offer some better perspective, anyone even vaguely familiar with San Francisco knows that the area that is mapped is known as the "Tenderloin" which is well known as one of the most drug infested areas in the Bay Area, and has been that way for many years. It's right next to downtown, but it's not exactly the entire downtown as the chart title infers. It still isn't a good situation for anyone to have to live around or even be around passing through, but it's not as if this has just suddenly became that way. In fact, it's one of the last areas in that city that has resisted gentrification, which isn't exactly a cheap place to afford housing:
I really don't understand how people think this is amusing or even the fault of San Francisco which is one of our wealthiest cities.
The homeless and drug addicted congregate wherever their needs are met. This is a national problem not a local one.
IDK, I cant recall any other city/state spending 30 million to scoop up human feces and drug needles off streets.
I rented an apt in Santa Clara a couple years ago to oversee a new manufacturing plant and made many trips into downtown SF and its not a lovely tourism place as portrayed on TV, imo.
Yes, many red staters flee to California and live on our streets. I am constantly amazed that so many people would rather be homeless in paradise than be housed in Middle America.
Many Californians would appreciate if red states can fix their problems so people would actually want to live there.

Yep, it sure beats staying in Oklahoma City and trying to face winter under the overpasses. Tonight it's in the mid 20s there.
Oklahoma Republicans would far rather further raise up the already well off than help the poor and homeless. Republicans are trying to lower the income requirements to receive medical care from the state.

SAN Francisco reaps what it sows. Dealing with human refuse leaving human refuse.
There are worse places to live. For instance, how would you love to live in the red state hell hole of Atoka County in Oklahoma where the average age at death is 36.

Case in point: Atoka County, Oklahoma where average age at death is 36. Life expectancy in San Francisco is 79.
Homeless people have to move to warmer and wealthier areas.

SanFrancisco has more human waste and contamination in streets than Brazil, Kenya or India
