The HN crowd loves to promote urbanization, density, blah blah blah. The fact that such an app exists at all is de facto proof of a failed city. Just a comic level of dysfunction. "NYC, we're so progressive we can't even address the basic requirements to support human life"
Except the name was "New York Shitty"
I think I wanted to make it primarily for the name.

There's an underserved market in SF, too. I'd pay cash money for a regularly updated restroom finder. Best of luck! EDIT: どうもありがとう! Just saw the Hirigana on the landing page. My Japanese partner and I have been lamenting the failure of public restroom availability compared to JP. Heck, even compared to the US 2 decades ago when gas stations allowed public access to their restrooms.
This is my go-to app to find bathrooms: https://www.starbucks.com/store-locator

Part of the problem in NYC is any time you offer any kind of community utility/service it invariably gets taken over by the homeless population. Benches become beds, libraries become bedrooms, cell phone charging stations become encampments.

In my experience suburbs and rural areas are even worse for public bathroom access (and even delivery of most other public goods except education). Are there US suburbs with plentiful public bathrooms?
As homelessness has gotten worse though, there's been noticeable encampments/vehicle caravans building up at these bathrooms.
