It's interesting to me to call out conservatives here as they are typically the ones touting community responsibilities through social norms. Despite the socialism (non-derogotarily) lean of the left, I would still consider them more individualistic, socially.
The two groups differ in their enforcement of collectivism (socially or legally) not their aversion/inclination to it. We are a social species, after all.
I think you'd find less graffiti in a rural bathroom than a large city bathroom.

- parineum 2mo agoI'm not sure that matters so much, a toilet can only handle so much traffic. I suspect a wal-mart bathroom sees similar traffic, regardless of location.
- samus 2mo agoWal-Mart has a direct, strong financial motivation to maintain that public bathroom: Customers that have to leave because they have to go to the toilet will buy less things.
- SubmarineClub 2mo agoYup, drive to any town a few miles outside a city and the bathrooms will be nice and clean, drug stores won’t have everything locked up, cafes and gas stations don’t have all their bathrooms locked up with keypads. Hmmm…remind me again why I should trust ‘team blue’ with running my city?
