If you've been told "no, you cannot poop in our bathroom because you are homeless" at every restaurant/business in the city, would you bother looking for a bath

If you've been told "no, you cannot poop in our bathroom because you are homeless" at every restaurant/business in the city, would you bother looking for a bathroom the next time you had to shit?
Why bother trying to have dignity if the world doesn't want to let you have any?
- baddox 8y agoThe fact that they're also often covered in blood and open sores and surrounded by previously- or currently-used needles is another indicator that perhaps the availability of public bathrooms is not the primary problem.
- ng12 8y agoSF has lots of public toilets. They're just unpleasant to use for obvious reasons.
- swasheck 8y agoWhat if SF employed a few of the homeless to clean them? I’d like to see public money spent invested in people than more unusable/inaccessible utilities. Certainly not a get rich quick scheme, but it’s just a quick thought.
- anbop 8y agoWhy should someone with a job cleaning toilets be homeless?
- swasheck 8y agoI don’t think that was the argument, so forgive me for the confusion. It’s really more like, “why not employ the unemployed homeless and receive the civic benefit of clean toilets, which might improve the quality of said toilets and hopefully drive up their use” not “toilet cleaners are homeless.”
- darkpuma 8y agoWhy should there be homeless if there are toilet cleaning jobs available? (Of course it's not so simple.)
