Whither to pee?

There’s something seriously ass-backward about how this problem has evolved. Now with the prospect of drunkards peeing on the sunny side of the street for all to witness, we are reminded that Vancouver has been quite remiss in its considerateness for a painfully long time. And fast-food restaurants locking their doors decades ago did not help matters, and as though they had some chic to protect.

All this points to the need for street workers to be back on the front lines identifying these concerns and teaching the lordly politicians what's really going on at street level. Enough of the painted sewer caps. Let’s put the money into the humane matter of returning to people their sense of dignity.
