9. If indoor malls can do it, outside shopping/entertainment corridors can, too.

Where are people likely to be (including transients) when they need a bathroom? Some commercial area where people congregate zoned for shopping, entertainment, etc.

When this shopping area has a roof over it, the businesses manage to collaborate on having guards and public bathrooms that are kept clean. What's the problem with treating outdoor commercial zones the same way? Just sign various businesses up to a zone - such as the "business improvement districts" that already exist and have them pay for the amenities to prevent people from peeing outside.

By the way, in University towns there is evidence that frat guys are responsible for a lot of the litter, vomit, and outdoor urination. So it's wrong to pin "the behavior" solely on homeless people. (This remark is aimed at the world in general, not at the person who posted the OP).
