So who needs *actual* public toilets?

Each study, no matter which city it was from, concluded that actual #PublicToilets are used overwhelmingly by:
- a #parent/ #caregiver with young #children (often using baby strollers)
- #elderly people
- #disabled people
- #unhoused people

… and since basically no one gives much of a rip about the last three on that list, ESPECIALLY unhoused people, there is little political will to ensure #accessible public #toilets are a priority.

A critical point made most clear by #Calgary's #yyc report (complete with maps and photos of site incidents!) is that #HumanWaste is a #biohazard #HazardousWaste, as human diseases can easily pass to others by #feces.

TL;DR: Alas, withholding development of #facilities and #services that would benefit all people in a community, including unhoused people, is a common policy program driven by political optics. And it stinks. 😡

The new process has created a bottleneck for agencies such as #NASA that seek to award #grants. #HHS, for instance, is waiting for the federal govt to post at least 30 planned #funding opportunities that encompass tens of millions of dollars in congressionally appropriated funds for #health & #ElderCare initiatives — including $8 million for #HolocaustSurvivor support & $6 million for #Alzheimer’s #caregiver assistance — risking their expiration within the fiscal year.
