Porta-potties for the homeless? [View all]

[KamaAina]

My boss just floated this at a staff meeting. He's talking about the large, wheelchair-accessible ones. We had a few set up for our Disability Unity Festival at the SF Civic Center last month. For those of you back East or in SoCal, the Civic Center is Homeless Central. The nearby BART station has had escalators break down because poo got caught between the steps!

And so, here's my boss wearing an orange vest, serving as porta-potty patrolman for the event. He saw it all. People shooting up. People turning tricks. Nudists from a nearby protest. That's when it hit him: there's enough space in there to shelter someone, and they even have doors that lock!

So is he completely nuts, or could he be on to something?
