  I don’t understand how hard that is to understand for some people.

  I have never met someone who’d rather piss in the streets than in a toilet if given the choice. The answer is always, always, ALWAYS “not enough free, clean, accessible toilets”

    The answer is drunk people.

    I was once walking home with a drunk housemate who pissed in the street a few minutes away from home. Also “clean” does not enter into it. The street is not clean.

      A few minutes can make a difference in wet vs dry pants, especially when there’s 15 beers inside you.

        Yeah, so the idea that you can have enough toilets to prevent this involves having toilets every few minutes, or every few hundred metres. That’s kind of insane. We should try the paint, or deal with the mess.

    You haven’t met enough drunk people.

  So to you it is axiomatic that the problem is insufficient toilets. You cannot understand that there are people - usually drunk - who will not use a toilet unless they are already inside it. It is not feasible to blanket a city in toilets sufficiently to eliminate public urination, so maybe a multi-pronged approach including discouraging people from doing so is more sensible.

    We’ve already been doing the later. And how has that been working out?

    You are correct, that I cannot understand something that I’ve never seen, or even heard of. I’ve seen shitfaced people stumble into restrooms pretty frequently. I’ve never seen someone say “I know there is a toilet less than a block from here, but I’d rather piss on the wall!”. But I hear the opposite all the time: “Man, I wish I didn’t have to piss out here, but the nearest toilet is a mile away”.

      I have been walking home with someone who pissed in the street less than a block (I don’t live in the US, we don’t have blocks, but it was a couple of minutes) away from home.

      Cmon, use that imagination of yours to go beyond what you have directly experienced.

      Remember too that all drunk people have come from somewhere with a working toilet, because places that serve alcohol have toilets.

        Maybe the place was closing. Maybe they didn’t need to go at the time. Maybe the toilet didn’t work. Maybe they just pee a lot. Guilty as charged.

  Stop making excuses. If people are still peeing on the streets they are lazy drunken degenerates.

    i’ve seen more studies saying the answer is more free toilets that i’ve seen everyone is just lazy degenerates. in fact. i haven’t seen any studies that concluded everyone is just lazy degenerates. maybe i’m reading the wrong studies?
