SAN FRANCISCO — An attorney representing a group of civic organizations has sent a legal claim letter to the city of San Francisco threatening to sue if an open-air urinal in Dolores Park is not removed in 20 days.
The concrete circular urinal, which is out in the open and screened only through plants for privacy, was installed in the iconic park last month to the approval of some. They said the park's meager three toilets led some to relieve themselves in bushes and on buildings. But the backlash has already started with six civic groups teaming up in a letter to the city that says the urinal must go.
They claim the urinal is a flagrant violation of the law and basic public policy, is unsanitary and discriminates against women and children because it is not designed for females. A city spokeswoman was not immediately available for comment Friday.

I had the impression from all the reprots of San Fagsicko smelling of urine and feces that the whole city was a public toilet.
To: rey
OMG they're suing because it's "discriminatory" against women and children, not because it's insane to let people relieve themselves in public.
You couldn't pay me to live in SF, or any part of CA.

Funny.
San Francisco has so dumbed-down and flaunted immorality that they cannot even say “It is wrong to” (piss in public/defecate in public/walk around nude in public/take your pick) in that city.
But! Discrimination (against women) IS “wrong” and can cause a bad city decision to be corrected.

I just imagined people hiding behind bushes with binoculars watching. They must have blended right in.

Just add a shower head and call it an open-air shower you can pee in. The city beautification dept in SanFran has really outdone themselves this time.

Other topics do show a drain. To where?
Perhaps city hall for golden showers for certain stupidvisors.
