I cannot fathom how you could possibly think how fecal vandalism just a San Francisco problem.

Cleaning literal blood and shit off the walls is a shared experience of “retail service” workers everywhere. This is both a hazard to workers and the customers that keep the place running.

Hell I had to do it at least weekly in an expensive sandwich shop in a small midwest city downtown that was 99% middle/upper class whites and no homeless or druggies in sight.

I cannot imagine having open bathrooms in an area populated with those more likely inflict problems.

I didn't say it wasn't a problem elsewhere, I said this:

There are a few cities where businesses have had to take the extreme measure of closing all public restrooms to combat this abuse. Most haven't.
