yeah and that sounds fucking awful, restrooms which are accessible to everyone should be a bare minimum aspect of all public spaces and all businesses

Bingo, it's a basic need and proper sanitation benefits everyone.

Handle them like public utilities, paid by the taxpayers and available to all. Incentivizes the local businesses by giving them some tax rebate if they open theirnto the general public. Someone taking a dump in an alley is a vector of disease on top of being disgusting and smelly.

Europe in general has been moving away from doing it for decades... yet some places have been fluctuating between "oh no, who will pay for the free restrooms!" and "oh no, who will pay to keep the streets clean!" 🤷

Can't people just hold it for 80 years until they die?
