I am in Sacramento often (very often). I know many, many people who work and/or live and/or visit the downtown area daily. I have seen no street shitting. I have heard of zero street shitting. That doesn't mean no one has ever shat on the streets in Sac, but it is far from common, and I've never heard of it happening there.
I am not in LA, but I know people who live there. I've never heard of it happening there either. Again, that doesn't mean it's never happened, and it's only anecdotal, but I doubt it is ubiquitous. If it is a problem in LA, well, LA is absolutely massive (at least what people call "LA"), so perhaps it is a problem on some block somewhere, but it is almost certainly not a wide spread problem there; or at least I have never heard of it.
SF on the other hand, is truly a shithole, figuratively and actually. It needs to burn in hell.
As for the general sentiment of "the cities being 'not nice'", my comment was an attempt to indicate that there are a lot more people that are less NPC than you might think, according to my experiences. More people are afraid to speak up, afraid of being ostracized for seeing that something's wrong, than actual NPCs. In other words, the NPCs, the believers, the kool-aid drinkers/pushers, are the minority, even in those places that seem otherwise (except maybe SF, which I avoid like the plague).
