> Paris has now public piss boxes on every major cross-roads to avoid people pissing in small streets Do you have any example on this ? I often go to Paris on a lot of different places and I've never seen anything like this. There are public toilets but I think they are pretty similary to what you can find in every big cities in the world and definitely not open.

The "uritrottoirs" do seem a bit crazy: https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/14/europe/paris-urinal-intl/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/14/europe/paris-urinal-intl/inde... Only 4 of them at the time of this article though.

But you know, French millennials are crazy about composting so having that scores some solid political popularity points.

You can see the boxes are leaking, but instead of hidden corner you now have the liquids right next to building's entry.

  There only seems to be 4 of them as of now, so "every major cross-roads" become just "an experiment with 4". That's also the only example you took to prove your point of politic's "incompetence in implementing nice sounding ideas."
