Want to know where the homeless relieve themselves in San Francisco? Lucky for you, there’s now an interactive poop map that pinpoints which Golden City streets people defecate on.
Jennifer Wong, a web developer, created the map — dubbed “Human Wasteland” — to find where the homeless dwell in the West Coast city, according to Reuters. Her efforts got a boost thanks to the growing problem with people using Frisco streets as commodes.
The city received over 5,000 complaints about feces and urine from June to November 2014. Wong used this data for her map that depicted where there’s the most crap happening.

curb this fecal epidemic and has distributed several port-a-pottys
