This was presumably started by some half-wit. We have few enough public toilets as it is, without idiots trying to destroy the ones we do have.

Back in the day each public toilet had it's own attendant. This sort (or any sort) of vandalism just didn't exist. The salary of said toilet attendants was much less than the cost of repairing any damage caused by valdals. Do we see a solution here?
The real solution is to incarcerate the homeless street drinkers.
