Public Restrooms

Most people pee 4-10 times every 24-hours. Each time we pee, about 250mls of pee-pee is excreted. Meaning on average it takes 4+ hours for pee on said city street to evaporate on an average day.  

How many people pee on the streets on the given streets of a western city in a given day? Well... my nose tells me it is more than the number of hours in a day it takes to make the smell escape my nose. Luckily we poop a bit less often...

Public restrooms. Yes, not public toilets. Are a place the public can access with relative ease to rest and release. In Western cities this is indeed complicated by a small, but dysfunctional minority turning the rest into an opioid induced long stay.

The question my dear tax prayers is: does the smell, outweigh the cost?
