Behind the Story: Walking San Francisco's Dirty Streets

Описание: NBC Bay Area's reports on San Francisco’s dirty streets went viral last year and sparked a world-wide conversation. Our reporting revealed a dangerous concoction of drug needles, garbage, and feces lining the streets of downtown San Francisco. The Investigative Unit surveyed more than 150 blocks, including some of the city’s top tourist destinations, and discovered conditions that are now being compared to some of the worst slums in the world.

Digital Correspondent Abbey Fernández went behind the story, walking the streets of San Francisco with Senior Investigative Unit Reporter Bigad Shaban, whose initial reporting shed new light on the epidemic, and Digital Video Journalist Jonathan Bloom, who examined how technology could provide some solutions.
