Ok I’m a bit surprised but I 100% expected a comment like this already under this post, so I’ll do it myself:
No wonder if you follow CCRs tips: Don’t go around tonight, well its bound to take your life - theres a bathroom on the right.

CCR has to be the band most unexpectedly from where they are from.
MTZ@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I always assumed that CCR was from like…Louisiana or something. Never would have guessed that they were from the bay area. Wild.
SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 1 day ago
So I listen to CCR and Wikipedia says they were formed in El Cerrito, California. I don’t know much about the regional tones of bands from that era, but what makes their region of origin unexpected?
dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
CCR sounds bluesy, gritty and blue-collar/southern, definitely not folksy, ‘hippie’ sounding like the Mamas and the Papas
kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
Half their songs are about being from Louisiana.

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!
Skarklette@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
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.
Skarklette@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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.
CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Why not just use the poop map?
Skarklette@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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
RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
Where are you living?? I’ve walked through the TL and a bunch of other supposedly “bad” areas of SF without having that problem…
Skarklette@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
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.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 15 hours ago
Pereonally, I’ve never seen shit on the street in SF. But I’m only ever in, like, two parts of the city. The wharf, and downtown.

Fogarty was from the East Bay so he’s the perfect guy to be sledging SF too. Love it.

Clearly you’ve never been to Columbus, Ohio
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I’ve never seen human shit on the street there. The homeless can’t afford to live there anymore and live in Lancaster these days
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I’ve spent vastly more time in SF than Columbus, yet I’ve seen more homeless ass and street shit in the latter.

At least it’s not some piss sponge like the Moscow metro.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Not to get political, but Moscow piss sponge is what the Russians call Trump.

Tf? The Moscow Metro is rather clean.
panic@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 hours ago
Seriously. There’s a lot that can be rightfully shit on about Russia, but the Moscow metro system is sparkling clean compared to similar systems, and many of the stations are gorgeous (especially the older ones with mosaics and statues).

Some municipalities actually started DNA-testing dog shit. Of course, that technology won’t anything when the culprit is someone homeless or a stray.
UndulyUnruly@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I’m confused. What are they gonna do, securing search warrants for Larry the Labradoodle and no-knock the front door off the hinges and buccal swab the cocksucker there and then?
Otherwise, the only way this makes sense if every dog is registered and must provide a sample preemptively. Maybe I’m missing something.
Passerby6497@lemmy.world 1 day ago

That’s exactly what’s happening. I have a friend whose apartment complex has that as a requirement for dog owners to move in. If you leave shit in the grass, they test it, fine you and make you pay for the lab needed to prove it was you. It works pretty well, as she and I went outside one night in the dark with flashlights because I forgot a poop bag and couldn’t find it when I came back with the bag to make sure she wouldn’t catch the fine.
rumschlumpel@feddit.org 1 day ago
Yes, registering every dog’s DNA is exactly how they’re doing it. It’s quite a bit of effort, which is probably why this isn’t more widespread.

I have never had any encounters with shit on the streets of SF. Now granted, I haven’t worked in the city in almost a decade, but this reputation it seems to have is nothing new.
I think if SF business owners weren’t so fuckin’ stingy about people using their restrooms then the people who can’t afford to buy something at the grossly inflated SF prices just for the privilege of accessing a sanitary place to relieve themselves in privacy that the rest of us take for granted each day would be a lot less likely to shit or piss on the streets.
I remember waiting for the train after a night of particularly heavy drinking, and it was a 20+ minute wait for the next BART train, and I was already doing the pee dance on the platform. I knew I wasn’t going to make it to the south bay before my bladder exploded. Station restrooms were already locked (even though trains were still running), so I went out to Market street and entered a nearby McDonalds. Asked to use their restroom, said I would buy something from their menu if necessary. Nope, they refused. I wasn’t about to pee my pants, so you know what I did? I went and I pissed on the street right in front of their front doors. Problem solved.
If you leave people no possible way to do something “correctly”, don’t be surprised if they start doing it incorrectly on purpose.
