Dog poop everywhere -- courtesy of the YIMBYs

This is why people don't want missing middle coming to their neighborhood. High density = low class.

In my neighborhood, it's all the upper income young professionals living in luxury condos who don't pick up their dog poop, take their dogs to the grocery store, and let their dogs off leash around playgrounds.

I'm middle class and can't even afford a dog.

Yes, my neighborhood is full of purebreds and designer "doodles" that poop everywhere and go to the store with their owners.

A nice quiet SF neighborhood is infiltrated by the YIMBY's who will immediately complain about everything that makes the neighborhood great.

What do you expect, very few YIMBYs are civilized.

There’s a legitimate research question about why some people love to litter. I’ve heard that it’s a form of protest but that’s never made sense to me.

Many cultures believe it's beneath them to pick up trash and their dog's poop.

The problem is that people in high-density living (including condos) feel no sense of ownership over where they live, so trashing the neighborhood feels acceptable to them.

It's not like this in my nice neighborhood.

Dogs don’t really belong in dense urban neighborhoods.

The real problem is that people get dogs because they are socially isolated and dogs give them the companionship they should be getting from people.

So the real issue here is technology mixed with cancel culture. When you start cutting everyone out of your life except for your online echo chamber, then a dog is about the only thing left to spend time with.

I'm really mad at people who don't clean up after their dogs but I also feel like this is a perfect task for a robot with AI so let's get on that. If they're going to take our jobs, they can at least solve a few problems. This and invasive plant removal, asap, please.

re: the snow, what's happening is that dogs like a little privacy and they're weird about pooping in snow and ice, so people let them wander or go to the end of the leash and then they can't or don't want to climb over the snow drifts to get to the poop to pick up. Not saying that's acceptable, at all, but that's what happens.

True, but completely unacceptable. I have almost broken my neck a dozen times in the past 2 weeks trying to access the incredibly inconvenient locations my dog has chosen to poop, but I've done it.

I abhor people who don't clean up after their dogs. It's gross and dangerous, especially for other dogs. Little puppies will eat poop and get parasites that make them really sick. No one forced you to get a dog. If you don't want to clean up after one (totally fair) then don't get one.
