You’ve gotta think that these people would rather use a toilet. Is the public toilet situation in SF really that bad?

Do you live in the states? I’ve never really been to a city where public restroom access is well advertised or even convenient. You’re expected to go inside places of business.

If you're obviously homeless, ain't no business letting you in there.

And yes, that's a typical US tactic. Instead of public services, we give control over to private businesses. But it's particularly bad in SF, worse than most cities.
