I've sometimes joked,"Vote for Mr Dave to become your next Emperor of the Universe and my first public decree will be for all cities to install lots of free public restrooms, outdoor drinking fountains, and trash containers. Also along major Interstate highways at rest stops." The current pathetic situation is a reflection of how useless much of our government politicians have become. Women are especially affected.
San Francisco that has had paid restrooms for a few years is now joining Los Angeles with automated public restrooms that began in Paris. In SF unfortunately those city personnel maintained units were often used by junkies, graffiti paint cretins, and used by homeless that closed the doors for overnight lodging once inside. The thing with these automated products is their is an automated cleaning cycle spraying cleaning water about, and the door automatically opens after a settable time. Thus will deter homeless and junkies that would become wet and or exposed.
We need clean public drinking fountains in our parks too that in the past, restaurants have obviously not wanted. Also in this era of human pig attitudes, many many more public trash cans that are actually maintained by the government. Here in the rich city of San Jose, the only public trash containers are at bus stops and usually overflowing due to lack of regular maintenance and emptying. Reflecting a general politician attitude of not funding. The solution for those that would otherwise use them to discard large trash is to make the opening small just as is the case at most gas stations now.
