This is a weird trope, and also just generally cruel. First: when public restrooms are generally available, they tend to be well used (I use them frequently in Tokyo, for instance). Second: even if they are mostly used by the homeless, that's good for them and us, because it means they have a humane place to use the bathroom, and it means we see less feces on the street and fewer places smell like piss.
- mschuster91 5y agoI'm not describing my own viewpoint here, but the thought train of average centrist to right-wing politician. They don't care in a positive way about poor, ill or otherwise disadvantaged people unless they can use their plight to gather votes (which is a rare occasion in itself).
