Just a 15 minute walk from the headquarters of Twitter and Uber, lies heroin needle and excrement-strewn Hyde Street - San Fran's dirtiest block
Area is notorious for open-air narcotics market, slumped bodies of drug users and the ever-growing homeless population
The city has received 15,000 calls about piles of poop so far this year
Problem has become so bad it announced 'poop patrol' in August
City will also expand hours at some of its 22 public toilets, called pit stops
Patrol will have a dedicated staff of six and two trucks at a cost of $750,000

Just two months after San Francisco unveiled plans for a 'poop patrol' to clean up the city, a new report has found that the wealthy tech hub's streets are as filthy as ever.
Just a 15 minute walk from the headquarters of Twitter and Uber, lies heroin needle and excrement-strewn Hyde Street.
The area, known as Tenderloin, is notorious in San Francisco, with an open-air narcotics market by day and the slumped bodies of drug users at night as locals blame the ever-growing homeless population.
