Clean, safe, accessible 24 hour public bathrooms should stay & expand post pandemic. They're widely used, support human dignity & rights, clean streets, used by a wide diversity of our city's residents, workers and visitors. This should not be a fight.https://www.sfchronicle.com/local-politics/article/San-Francisco-s-latest-feud-What-to-do-about-16231736.php …

Of course we need them for people still living on our streets, of which there are thousands. We also need them for delivery, taxi & uber drivers, families & seniors, tourists, workers, people leaving bars out for a walk. This is a common sense feature of any big city.

If some aren't being used at all, then fine, we can move some or reduce hours on some. But dismantling the ones that are being used seemingly **because** they are being used is backwards. Trash cans don't cause trash. Bathrooms don't cause people having nowhere else to go.

2 years ago we didn't have any 24 hour bathrooms, we added 3, and they were successful. Then we added dozens more during the pandemic, which have also mostly been successful. We shouldn't go backwards and I'm going to make sure we do not.

These bathrooms are staffed, they provide more eyes on the street and support safety. They provide hand sanitizer, doggie bags, trash cans, even for those who aren't using the toilet. They shouldn't be dismantled and disappeared without any notice or process.

Of course the goal is to move people into shelter or housing. SF will spend nearly a billion dollars on that effort this coming year. But there are still thousands of people living on the streets & many others who use these toilets. Forcing them to go on street helps no one.

After you spend this billion dollars this year, and your district is inevitably worse than it is now, what will be the plan then?
