I wonder if cities would consider a liability waiver for any business that wanted to contribute to a public bath house. There are many different homeless programs in place but there are few places where the unhomed can shower and use a toilet. That leads to a host of other problems, like the Starbucks one mentioned. When I suggested to a city council member that perhaps one or more of these businesses in town could pitch in to build a bath house they were not supportive.
My impression from "reading between the lines" was that the city was both "trying to be helpful" and trying hard not to be too helpful or too good which would encourage the homeless to converge here. If that really is the underlying policy I think it sucks.
