Daily Caller—San Francisco spent over $40 per resident to clean up its streets for the 2016-2017 fiscal year and the cost is getting higher with the 2019 fiscal year expecting to increase to $60 million.
The cost for the 2017-2018 fiscal year jumped to nearly $54 million from $35 million in the 2016-2017 fiscal year, according to the San Francisco Chronicle on Monday. Next year will hit nearly $60 million.
San Francisco, which had 864,816 residents between the 2016-2017 fiscal year, spent four times as much on cleaning than Chicago, which had a population of over 2 million people, according to the Policy Analysis Report from the City And County Of San Francisco Board of Supervisors Budget and Legislative Analyst’s office. It is unclear how many people will be added in SF in 2018.
Some causes for the high clean up costs included providing five categories of cleaning services at higher frequencies, receiving over 77,000 cleaning requests and having an increased cleaning workload due to the city’s homeless population. The report did not take into account worker efficiency, according to the to report’s co-author Fred Brousseau, the Chronicle reported. read more

Defecation is expensive. Someone is missing a (private sector) business opportunity.
Time for another contest! Let’s rewrite the song! “I Left a (#$@!) In San Francisco”! High on a hill, I had to pee…
From what I’ve heard they missed a few spots.
“If You’re going on San Francisco…
Be sure to clear Your Underwear
because if Your going on San Francisco
Sh*t splatters everywhere”
