    I disagree. In my experience having a lack of restrooms just makes the place nasty and hostile. You can still visit places with plenty of public restrooms, and it’s so much nicer. Every light rail station in Seattle smells like a toilet, the ones in Vancouver are way nicer. Removing restrooms doesn’t remove the need to pee.

      People (and pets) pee on the sidewalk regardless of whether public restrooms exist.

        Some people don’t clean their ass after they shit, should we not make toilet paper or bidet’s available for the rest of us?

          What? That’s just not a good comparison.

          People don’t shoot up fentanyl in a roll of toilet paper.

            Your response is a symptom of a much larger problem you have, misinformation and fear. You’ve presented a weird MSM scenario where everyone is a druggy. You’ve been disconnected from reality and have lost your way from being “stoic”.

            People shoot up drugs on the street, too. Should we just get rid of public streets while we’re at it?

            Personally, I would rather have drug users go to a more private spot(like a public bathroom stall), than on the street in broad daylight, to use their drugs.
