Don't know how effective this is going to be but here's hoping. The amount of dog poop I come across when taking my daily treks is unbelievable. Not to mention... disgusting! If you refuse to clean up after your pet, don't get one. Jeesh.
They should have been doing this years ago. I'm sure all the income from giving tickets to people who don't pick up after their dog could be used to house and feed the homeless.
Shaking my head at some of the things they come up with....
However if they gonna do it, why only in Manhattan, what about the other 4 boro's
City only cares about Manhattan.
Notice how few cross borough train lines there are in the Bronx, BK, and Queens? (That is east-west in BX, and North-South lines in the other two). But they all have tons of lines going to Manhattan. To get from Riverdale to a neighborhood along the 4 or 6, one has to go down to 96t st and then take the 2 or the 3 back up into the Bronx.
I'm not in NYC, but I would think homeless human poop is more important than dog poop.
You can pick-on responsible pet owners, because they have ID, documented residences and money to take.
Not the same case for the homeless, but the homeless do go #1 and #2 on the city streets and parks and alleys. But you dont want to tackle that... far easier to go after pet owners...

It's more of an issue in Manhattan due to high amount of multi-family housing.
Out on say Staten Island and other areas dominated by one to three family homes, a homeowner catches you not cleaning up after your dog, and you're going to hear a few words. If it happens often enough and things could escalate. People take pride in keeping their property nice, and those who mess things up, especially come from another street or block to do so aren't welcome.
Then consider fact where homes have front or back yards, many let Fido do his thing on their own property.

SF has a live, open source, online "poop map" where people can mark where poop was seen, guess if it's animal or human, and post pictures.

*BS* How often are you in the Bronx? There is SH*T everywhere. It's like playing hop scotch dodging it all.
