You're saying people who are pooping on public sidewalks will willingly choose to poop into plastic bags on public sidewalks, if only they had them available?


I can’t speak for everyone, but some of them yes! If you were homeless and needed to shit in the middle of the night (usually avoidable, but stomach bugs can screw you - and they’re more common when you can only afford bottom of the barrel food), would you prefer to do it directly on the street in the vicinity of your bed where you’ll have to smell it and look at it for weeks, or into a bag where you can properly dispose of it immediately?

Now imagine you live in a community with a dozen other hobos, what sorts of policies would you legislate?

You know we aren’t that different, you and I.
