What are you talking about? What their world country are you from wheres shitting on the street is legal? I'm fairly certain that public defecation is illegal everywhere, and probably gets you on a sex offender list in a lot of states.

The reason public bathrooms were eliminated is because they become dens for heroin use. Always fun going to the bathroom with your kids to find druggies rolling on the floor with heroin needles scattered about. How do you maintain a bathroom with homeless people injecting heroin? You need police for that, not simple bathroom cleaners. I'm ultra leftist, but this degeneracy of enabling drug addiction and encouraging crime and homelessness only serves to produce more crime, more homelessness, and more suffering.

The Portland Loo isn’t a den for anything:

In European countries, it’s quite common to find public bathrooms with attendants who charge a nominal fee.

In Japan, public bathrooms are common and amazing. (Public trashcans are a different story.)

In cities near SF (excluding Palo Alto), perfectly nice public bathrooms are common in parks.
