8. I understand the logistical challenges of public bathrooms in these cities dont occur in a vacuum

Basically i think it is many of the things you mention, along with the fact that homeless people and others will either camp out in the bathrooms or use them to shoot up, etc.

I had a retail gig in a medium sized town that was near a public transit hub- for a while at least we kept the bathrooms open; the shit i saw in there (literally and figuratively) was not to be believed.

So i understand why things are the way they are- but that reality also contributes to people peeing outside. Probably encouraging people (or at least men) to carry a receptacle is more realistic than having a paid attendant.
