San Francisco park reopens with new outdoor urinal
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | January 29, 2016 | Kristin J. Bender

San Francisco's iconic Dolores Park is now home to the city's first open-air urinal, the latest move to combat the destructive scourge of public urination in the City by the Bay.

The concrete circular urinal is out in the open, though plants and a screen offer some privacy. It's a welcome addition for the park that had just three toilets, which led many to relieve themselves in bushes and on buildings.

In that for years all of San Francisco has been a giant outdoor urinal I guess this could be considered progress. I hope it is gender neutral.

At least the ones in France were near full-circle. SF seems to be just doing that half-assed.

the commie mayor of nyc is allowing people of color to urinate in the streets, he feels jailing them is racist. There is a disproportionate number of people of color being locked up

San Francisco began to go “Full Urinal” back in the days of Haight Asbury when the liberal city fathers stood by and did nothing to stop it.

Haight-A....I spent a couple of days there in 69 and then bussed out to Travis AFB for my tour. Really freaky.

It’s really sexist, after all a man transgendered into a woman cannot sit on it to urinate. Just think of the shame such a freak has to endure when the public watches it trying to sit on a urinal.

I have zero desire to set foot in California.

San Francisco has no values

San Francisco is in need of a 9.6 earthquake

Why bother? San Francisco is already a public urinal.

A little salt and brimstone storm would do as well.

When The Big One levels San Francisco, it should not be rebuilt. No one rebuilt Sodom.

What about some open-air defecatanals? Don't you people get tired of stepping over (or in) the doodoo on the sidewalks?

The concrete circular urinal is out in the open, though plants and a screen offer some privacy.

How quaint!

I hate to be vulgar (though it's hard to avoid when speaking of San Francisco), but San Francisco has earned the well deserved title of The World's Most Sh!**y City. (Was I glad to get outta there!)

Do you have to be a person of color, or can anyone urinate in the streets of New York?

I like to think of “the big one” as God flushing the toilet. Or urinal, as the case may be.

“San Francisco has no values

Needs more like a 10.0 MINIMUM. A 15 would be preferable...
