Of course, when talking about public restrooms here, he was making comparisons with some other urban areas.
According to him, while more and more street food areas and stalls are springing up, public restrooms on the streets are developing very slowly, or if they exist, they haven't fully utilized their potential. Although called an auxiliary facility, public restrooms are by no means a minor issue. They are considered one of the essential infrastructures for making cities cleaner, more beautiful, and more civilized.
Recently, after renovations, some parks in Hac Thanh ward have been equipped with modern, smart restrooms. However, after a short time, some have broken down, while others have failed to function properly.
Many places in the former Thanh Hoa City area have signs like "Please do not relieve yourself here," but the result is that few people can "please" in the face of the urgent need for personal hygiene. Even with stronger, even threatening, signs, it cannot replace the reality that many people still have to defecate in the open.
The lack of public restrooms is a fundamental shortcoming that hinders urban development, including attracting tourists . Investing in public restrooms is essential, and once invested in, effective and long-term management and operation are also required. Public restrooms that close or become damaged after use not only cause waste but also create an unsightly image.
The tourism infrastructure in Thanh Hoa is constantly developing. However, to create a truly attractive and satisfying tourist environment, more public restrooms are needed, and their operation should be more frequent. Instead of focusing on large-scale projects, please prioritize solving the public restroom problem first; don't consider these auxiliary facilities as secondary issues.
