So who needs *actual* public toilets?

Each study, no matter which city it was from, concluded that actual #PublicToilets are used overwhelmingly by:
- a #parent/ #caregiver with young #children (often using baby strollers)
- #elderly people
- #disabled people
- #unhoused people

… and since basically no one gives much of a rip about the last three on that list, ESPECIALLY unhoused people, there is little political will to ensure #accessible public #toilets are a priority.

A critical point made most clear by #Calgary's #yyc report (complete with maps and photos of site incidents!) is that #HumanWaste is a #biohazard #HazardousWaste, as human diseases can easily pass to others by #feces.

TL;DR: Alas, withholding development of #facilities and #services that would benefit all people in a community, including unhoused people, is a common policy program driven by political optics. And it stinks. 😡

@ned This is Redlining. A racist, segregation practice that was observed in both Canada and the US.

I think the practice was much more well documented in the US mainly because the practice was highlighted in an obtuse fashion with Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. A black child was denied enrolment to a school that was closer to her home because it was a school in a white neighbourhood and was effectively a white school. So the public school system enrolled the child to a black school much farther away.

This triggered a constitutional challenge against what was a practice of segregation. What this revealed was a wide spread, systematic practice of banks, realtors, and other service providers that effectively pinned people by race and forced them to live in specific neighbourhoods. But, like many things systemically broken about the US, the Supreme Court simply acknowledged the issue without providing any meaningful solution.

Safe to say that the practice continues in various forms on both sides of the border into the modern day.
