Opis
Large tent / cluster of tents obstructing sidewalk and prohibiting safe passage, especially for people in wheelchairs or with strollers or walkers or sight impairments, forcing them to walk into the street. This is a legal violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, for which the City of San Francisco can (and should) be sued. Further, encampment has potential to obstruct fire and police personnel from responding to emergencies, and is also spewing syringes, feces, urine, and un-contained food into the public sphere, presenting a clear public health risk. The entire area is now a vector for disease, illness, and rodents.

This is a duplicate complaint, please close.
Also, while it is impossible to tell from the photo angle, it looks like the tent (only one is visible) may not be blocking the sidewalk, just occupying part of it.
And encampments are not responsible for waste or littering, any more than houses or apartment buildings are responsible for the waste and littering of their residents. In both cases, it is the individuals who do these things, not everyone who happens to live there, who are responsible.
With things like feces, urine and syringes, it's always worth asking whether there are any nearby public restrooms or safe needle disposal containers.
