They had the same problem in SF. A French company offered to put self cleaning toilets pay toilets in Fishermans Wharf at no cost to the city. They were very nice. Then the Handicapped lobby protested. Not wheelchair accessible ( to prevent them turning into shooting galleries, flop houses etc they were made small). So the company offered to put in a handicap one, with a key that would be next door. Not good enough. Eventually, it got so ridiculous the company said forget it. It was a classic example of PC run amok.
Didn’t SF also BUY shopping carts for the homeless?
The one time I was in SF even the homeless beggars had working cellphones.
