I know they are probably true, but ALL of the above postings seem insane. How can a city once so beautiful and interesting turn into such a disaster?
Tony Bennett 's classic ode to S.F. seems a mockery now.

I'd still rather live in the Bay Area than about 90% of this wasteland of a country.
3,500 for a 2 bedroom???? Where in SF? We just moved from SF and you are talking closer to 4,500 for 2 bedrooms...
You can indeed get the Tenderloin area for less, but as above, you don't want it.
Here are some of our findings:
San Francisco is the Doo-Doo Capital in the U.S., with 455.89 poop sightings reported per Sq Mi in 2017. (Figure 1)
In Chicago, we found a positive correlation between homeownership and the number of poop complaints. The more units are owned in one neighborhood, the more poop complaints filed. (Figure 2)
We also found a significant negative correlation between median home value and poop complaints within a zip code in Chicago. Zip codes with higher home value tend to have fewer poop complaints. (Figure 3)
The Bronx was the dirtiest borough in New York City in 2017 by the number of unique poop complaints per Sq Mi. However, there has been more poop complaints in Manhattan so far in 2018. As of August 31st, Manhattan saw on average 9.6 complaints per Sq Mi. (Figure 8)
While there is no correlation between homeownership and poop in New York City, there is a statistically significant negative correlation between median home value and poop complaints within a zip code. The higher the median home value, the fewer the poop complaints. (Figure 9)
In San Francisco, 2017 was the worst year on record, with 20,899 poop complaints reported. But 2018 is on track to beat that. (Figure 13)
The city’s “Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing’s $250 million budget,” was slated to be increaded by $29m more.
In 2017, San Francisco’s homeless population was 7,499.
That means the city is spending $37,204.96 per resident annually.
It’s almost as if the Homelessness program is simply a redistribution of wealth program for the city’s unionized employees...
While surveying parts of downtown San Francisco, the NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit discovered graffiti that appeared to look as if it were made from feces. The markings were found along sidewalks on two different blocks: 700 block of Ellis Street, between Polk and Larkin Streets, and the 500 block of Larkin Street, between Eddy and Turk Streets. Piles of excrement were also found near each of the markings.
In comparing Breed’s first three months in office with the three months prior, San Francisco 311 data reflects an 8 percent increase in complaints regarding used needles, 3 percent increase concerning trash, and 30 percent increase regarding human feces.
“I don’t think it’s because the city is actually dirtier,” Breed said. “I think it’s because more people are reporting the challenges that exist.”
The mayor recently assembled a new crew dubbed the “Poop Patrol” to clean feces across San Francisco seven days a week. Last year, San Francisco received 20,960 requests to clean human feces from streets and sidewalks. The number of complaints in 2018 is expected to exceed that figure based on the 11,944 cleaning requests received in just the first six months of this year.
In the video from NBC Bay Area, a biologist explains how the feces epidemic can result in a disease outbreak. The video also features people, including children, walking along the sidewalk dodging the waste and heroin needles. In a scene reminiscent of Idiocracy, mayor Breed sits down with the NBC reporter and explains how removing feces would be a major accomplishment by saying “I would measure that [success] by, you know, like, not having feces on our sidewalks.”

That's not true at all, I just looked again and there are several that looked really nice. I had a few of them queued up but had technical problems with the post, here's the last one I found (for example):
