Why Portland's Public Toilets Succeeded Where Others Failed (2012)
So how do you solve the heroin junky passing out&#x2F;projectile vomiting&#x2F;falling asleep&#x2F;dying&#x2F;leaving needles around&#x2F;defecating everywhere but the toilet with the door locked problem?<p>On the streets of San Francisco I have seen several passed out heroin junkies lying flat on their back right there on the sidewalk, needles nearby, perhaps passed out or worse with some sort of projectile body effluent leaking out of them or trailing behind them.  This is probably an average day at Starbucks for a non-discriminatory bathroom in a high addict area.
