What is your proposed alternative?


For this, let private companies install public pay toilets. Let activists fund free pay toilet passes for the homeless/poor.

Eventually there should be a couple brands of private public toilets where some are essentially free (lets say you own a business in an area with no public washrooms, it may be a financial benefit to you to sponsor a public toilet) and others are more luxury with higher prices to keep the riff raff out and fund more public ones.

There is a market solution if the government gets out of the way.


There is a market solution for everything if we just imagine that the tragedy of the commons doesn't exist


I agree, but public pay toilets are illegal.
