‘Why is it like this? It shouldn't have to be.'

Rickey Wilson, a jazz singer who has been performing in San Francisco for thirty years, said he is frustrated by the amount of trash and human waste on city streets. Wilson, who regularly walks the streets of San Francisco to perform at clubs and lounges across the city, doesn’t believe the cleanliness ratings released by JBR Partners. San Francisco’s dirty streets made national headlines following an NBC Bay Area investigation in February, which revealed a dangerous concoction of drug needles, garbage, and feces lining the streets of downtown San Francisco.
