The Need for public Toilets

[zigbee]

Never seen a ghetto that didn't have any businesses, but fine. Let's call it a "shitty part of town" instead of a ghetto. Now that we have ironed out the semantics, my point still stands. Every one of these businesses has toilets that they could open up to the public, but don't for good reasons. You could build rest stop type bathrooms, but they would just be convenient places for criminal activity due to privacy and the illegality of installing video cameras. The toilets would constantly get plugged with condoms, drug bags, and massive dumps; causing them to overflow all over the floor.

Maybe a segment of the homeless would use them, but most would decide that they'd rather just ***** outside than use the disgusting, crime infested homeless toilets. Hell I'm not homeless, and there have been times where I have elected to just ***** in the woods because the bathrooms provided were too gross. And they were not nearly as disgusting as the homeless shitters would be.

IF you read the link it's not going on in a bad part of Miami but in the areas that have commerce and so forth.  Downtown is not ghetto but you can believe what you wish.

Homeless people living on the streets and sidewalks of downtown Miami are also relieving themselves on the streets and sidewalks of downtown Miami, turning the cityâ€s core into an outdoor toilet, merchants and residents say.

My objection was your classification of this neighborhood "not being a bad part of Miami"

Since you have conceded that part of your argument we are otherwise in agreement. If you don't want to consider it a "ghetto" fine with me. That was never my sticking point. Thanks for finally acknowledging that it is indeed a bad part of Miami, due to the fact that they have thousands of homeless people shitting all over the sidewalk.

  Downtown is not a ghetto but you can make up things all day long.  It may not be the greatest part of town but it's not ghetto.  I defined ghetto and what is going on in downtown is not a ghetto but sure could use public toilets as people are sick of the crap on the street.

Cincydawg would be proud of the way you've isolated a single term to pick at, in an attempt to boil the entire thread down to a debate about semantics. Fine with me if you don't want to call it a ghetto. Thanks for finally acknowledging that it is a bad neighborhood, even if it pains you to do so.

Again, I feel sorry for you if your life is in a place where you are willing to overlook 1000s of homeless people crapping all over the sidewalk. That's not a detail that most Americans would be willing to gloss over when determining whether a neighborhood is good or bad. I'll take a "ghetto" that doesn't have homeless people shitting all over the sidewalks over a "nice part of town" that does any day of the week and twice on Sundays. But that's just me. Maybe I just have higher standards than others, which is fine.

1) It's not a ghetto.  Agreed with link on solution and offered one of my own.


2) Where did I say what you are typing?  You seem to ramble on a bit.

You have said multiple times that it's not a bad part of town, and you've also admitted a time or two that it is.

Look, I get it. There are wealthy people who live in high rise condos in downtown Columbus. Now I think those folks are nuts and asking for trouble, but at least the homeless people there aren't crapping on the sidewalk. Hell, they are even starting to put up some of those high rise condos in the Bottoms. You can buy a whole house in the bottoms for less than 20k. You could buy up an entire city block for what they are charging to live on the tenth floor of one of those stupid condos. Of course you wouldn't have all the security that they provide in the fancy high rise condos. But if you are living in a place that requires a private security detail, then you are paying a pretty penny to live in a rotten neighborhood.

So a turd and a polished turd? Great.

Well to each their own I guess. It is too bad that you didn't find out about your vagrant poop paradise before you bought your new place. We could maybe round up a few of the Carolina posters to drop a deuce on your stoop for ya.
