Interesting thank you, I had never heard of this! It is unfortunate how sometimes the Law of Unintended Consequences bites activists in the ass. You see a worthy cause and want to improve the situation, only to end up making things worse.
- bluefirebrand 2y agoThis is also what I would call "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" We need to do a better job scrutinizing cause-effect for things, not just make decisions on a knee jerk "that sounds well intentioned"
- karmakaze 2y agoThis might fall in the category of Unconsidered Consequences. One can't merely oppose a thing and not support a replacement and have the fallout be "oh well, we tried". It's not like all the pay toilets disappeared all at once leaving no free ones, the group was 'making progress' in their myopic goal all the while.

- d0mine 2y ago"unintended"? -- what is the most obvious thing that can happen if paid toilets are outlawed and there is no money (never is) for public toilets? Obviously, there is more to the story. People are not that dumb. Somebody wanted it that way for a reason.
