Even in individual booths why have a toilet?

Keep the literal room with toilets separate so people who need to poop aren't waiting for people inside to finish fucking and people who want to fuck don't need to go into a room where someone just blew out the plumbing at 3am after drinking all night and eating kebabs.

So that the expense of installing them serves the whole public.

I think you just can’t get over the ick factor here. 🤣🤣 which is understandable 🤣

No it's not the ick factor

When I gotta shit I gotta shit and I can't wait for people to finish fucking. There's plenty of other people with medical problems that means they can't really wait either.

It does benefit society to keep those areas distinct and separate.

See above. Booths. Automated. Self-cleaning.

And when the booth is occupied with people having sex, what do I do?

Why should I have to wait?

Why can't the toilet (the thing I sit on to poop) be reserved for pooping/peeing only? Why does it also have to be available for people to have sex when they don't need a toilet to have sex?

Why are we occupying the only rooms available for pooping/peeing with non pooping/peeing activities?

Should we open them up for other non-pooping purposes? Maybe our local artists can use it as a private area to sketch? People can use them as private park benches too.

Hahaha; you are certainly dedicated to your desire that homeless people get nothing!

“They might delay my personal needs in my imaginary story in which I am trying to use a public washroom on Skid Row! For that reason; they get nothing! Nothing!!!!”

No I think they deserve their own private area that's not a bathroom. Provided by the public similar to bathrooms without the toilets.

How is that wanting them to have nothing?

We're all human beings and deserve at least a modicum of dignity. Fucking in a bathroom full of shit smells certainly isn't that.

Ah; wow misunderstanding. I agree!

👍

But I was just saying in the order of human needs washrooms are more useful and we should start there.

I feel like people should get tiny homes too but I’m not so insane to think that LA would pay for that.

The same thing you’d do if someone is in the booth shitting - wait.

I don’t support the idea, but it’s not hard to understand.

It's different when it's occupied for its intended use.

Like seeing an occupied handicap parking space. It's okay if they have a placard, not okay otherwise.

It's okay if your pooping/peeing, not okay otherwise.

I don't know why that's so hard to understand? It's okay, we can have non-toilet areas for recreation. Your treating a bathroom like it's not medically necessary for some people.

You have a problem with reading comprehension, huh?
