Sadly, that doesn’t always help. I’ve lived in a city with several public toilets. Some people would still rather piss on a wall ~30 metres away from the public toilet rather than use it.

They probably reduced the amount of people doing that, though.

Are the public toilets dirty or have a fee?

Both, from what I heard

Then maybe we shouldn't blame homeless people for shitting on the street lol. How else are they supposed to do it?

Yeah, going on a roadtrip with my mum is a constant quest for reaching the next toilet, often relying on the goodwill and staff toilets of stores. And there's genuinely trips she just cannot or does not do, because there's no toilets on the way.

Absolute insanity to me that we've outlawed peeing outside, without having free toilets available everywhere.

"it's a three minute walk to the nearest toilet"
