Dog Poop in LA-Nothing to do with Film

I have recently migrated to LA for the next 2 months to work on a film and the giant difference I've noticed is the inability of people to curb their dog (also the way the women dress when going out, but that's a whole other posting)! I've even seen the bag full on the sidewalk. This not only creates problems walking, but has attracted a population of an excess of flies. The flies are EVERYWHERE! Los Angeles needs to do a giant bombing from the air of insecticide all because you can't pick up your dog's poop & throw it in the garbage. I forget to look where I'm going & WHAM! I step in it. I have to move over on a sidewalk, but I can't cause there's poop!
