They have some of those throughout the city. However, they require attendants to be on site during operation because people shoot up drugs, prostitute themselves, or sleep in them.
The solution will require much more than some free-to-use restrooms.

they have those in portland (see: https://portlandloo.com) but the problem persists there as well, even around the toilets.

#6They're shitting on the sidewalks of L.A. too, right downtown in front of restaurants.
Meanwhile, any company that opts to set up shop in San Francisco at this point is issuing a big FU to employees and investors. Why would you do this to people? Talk about squandering a ton of money for squalor.

You know something, we already have police patrolling the streets, and even if it were only open 16 hours a day, that’s still 16 hours of availability.
So really, we just don’t have enough, and I don’t think anyone really cares if people are actually shooting up drugs in a bathroom. That’s better than doing it in playgrounds or on park trails and leaving the needles strewn around.
It isn’t that we can’t. It completely makes sense to open up more public restrooms. We are simply choosing not to and making excuses for our choices. “The solution” is nothing. If you want people living in the streets to take a dump somewhere other than just the streets, give them a place to actually do it. Make them common. Make them regular. Make them staffed. Make them clean and well plumbed. Make them high throughout so any member of the public can use them. And even add biohazard collection bins if you feel it is necessary.

#8I have a modest proposal to end this problem.
There are too many homeless in San Francisco.
Additionally, California has too few wolves.
I propose that we release wolves into the streets of San Francisco once per month.
Only the strong will be able to evade the wolves and the weak and sick will be eaten.
This will lower the homeless population will simultaneously helping the wolf population rebound to record numbers.

People that shit on the Market St sidewalk in broad daylight are not doing so because they were looking for a restroom and ran out of time. There’s a little more going on.
