"There is literally an "SF poop map""

So this is a map, where people report that they found some poop? Do they also keep track of their reported poop, like status report?

What exactly is the point of that map? Something like a hall of shame? Bringing authorities to do something?

There is an ongoing problem with small crimes damaging quality of life. When Newsom was mayor he set up a reporting system with a 311 front end reachable by phone or web where problems could be reported. This led, among other things, to the problem of trash bins being raided and dumped out being identified.

The poop map has not been that useful as there is limited push for public access toilets and it is not all that accurate but rather more of a map of where people complain about poop which is subtly different. Some public toilets have been installed and more are planned, but these are mostly for touristy commercial areas.

The map itself is mostly political fodder. Conservatives regularly post it with status updates and rage on local internet forums and conservative political forums as evidence that San Francisco is being ruined by policies that are soft on crime. Oddly enough this has not yet convinced the people of San Francisco to vote in representatives who are against Trans people and seek to limit access to abortion.
