Rationale

  • Every good city needs to have some public bathrooms  discussionTODO: elaborate on specific use-cases
  • Businesses take up space that could that could otherwise be used for city-owned public facilities.  discussionTODO: answer common objections like "but private houses take up space too, should people be forced to open their homes to strangers?" - show why businesses are far better suited
  • Customer-only bathrooms are effectively pay toilets. (...)( In theory they are different, but in practice they are the same )
  • Environmental impact / wastefulness of having to buy something you don't even use, just to use the washroom.  discussionshould i be consistent with using one of the words (bathroom/restroom/washroom) especially when it comes to page titles?
  • Businesses are in a prisoners' dilemma without the policy  discussionTODO elaborate or rephrase
