I once saw a grown man pull his pants down and take a shit right on the sidewalk on market street. San Francisco just be like that.
Sounds to me like a lack of public bathrooms.
So it's cleaner than the sidewalks?
I'm honestly amazed there isn't a toilet there? Like, there's toilets at gas stations, why wouldn't they (by default) put toilets in a supercharger lot?

That's pretty cheap! I mean, does Tesla expect people to use the toilet at a gas station when they're not even buying gas?

SFs de facto stance (in practice due to the dynamic between law enforcement agencies) seems to be that generally an individual has right to relieve themselves even on a sidewalk (even pretextually) and being visible does not in itself arise to a crime like indecent exposure, without additional factors (such as the stereotypical “trench coat flashing” without pretext).

Thats the way SFPD worded it to me after repeatedly failing to act on my reports (such as a woman urinating in front of my child on a sidewalk near an sf muni bus stop). Nudity is legal. People have a right to bodily function. Another factor is response time, for this priority the response time can be over 12 hours (if they respond), and obviously they’re not gonna skip trace someone for urinating on a sidewalk after they left the scene.

Most event organizers like bay to breakers race or outside lands provide facilities to mitigate burdens on the community. The city provides its own portable facilities in hotspots. Tesla could easily do it, but is notorious for ignoring regulations or just doesn’t care.

and this is somehow notable for san francisco?
