Miami Herald-Tasked with marketing Miami to tourists and investors, the tax-funded Downtown Development Authority has plenty of maps highlighting restaurants, tourist attractions and real estate development.
On Thursday, they unveiled their latest: a detailed map showing where people popped a squat on downtown streets.
The scatological atlas, smiling poop emojis and all, was created amid a swirling dispute between downtown boosters and the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust over how to get homeless men and women off the street, and how to deal with corresponding sanitation issues. The two public agencies have been feuding for about a year now, dating back to the creation of a temporary shelter program at Camillus House, and more recently with the DDA’s promotion of souped-up porta-potties.

Its not all sandy beaches and beautiful babes down in Miami anymore. Once you scrap away the facade of the Miami high rises and luxury cars  you’ll find that the homeless are leaving their shit and piss stained marks all over the city. Enough to the point where its become an epidemic apparently. On SE 1st street, that one little shit spot is a block away from one of my favorite Italian spots and I cant have that. Last thing i want after getting a belly full of Fettuccine allo ScoglioIf with a date and walk back to my car and find a guy with his pants around his ankles grunting while he shits.  If I were homeless and i had to crack a deuce i probably would pinch one in the alley too if i had to and were there but even i would try to do the most logical thing i could think of and thats try to take a shit into the ocean. Its the largest toilet in the world and Im almost sure sewage is connected to the ocean anyways and its right there. Just head over to Bayfront where u can get over the ledge and drop one in the Atlantic. That areas just shipping yards anyways, not like thats where tourist flock too. Find a wash off area near the beach and clean your self and go back to being a bum. Keep Miami’s reputation good so you can ask tourist for more change. Problem solves.
