Key-coded restrooms: Your thoughts? We disected self-check pretty

[hunter]

7. In my life I've cleaned and rebuilt too many restrooms destroyed by drunks and homeless people.

Toilets, sinks, and urinals shattered, deliberate flooding, shit smeared on walls... the sorts of vandalism that make gang graffiti scratched into mirrors look mild. Used needles in the trash or left wherever they fall are no fun either.

Locks on bathroom doors are symptoms of problems our society doesn't seem willing to deal with.

Everything from locks on bathroom door to police brutality are simply ways of dumping these social problems on someone else's doorstep.

As a society we have to recognize that everyone deserves a place to simply be, even people we don't like, and that some people are temporarily or permanently unemployable and will require some sort of supervised housing.

Sorry to be so heavy in the Lounge.
