At any one time there is between 2,000 to 2,500 homeless in the Portland central core ( NW, SW, Inner NE, and Inner SE ), and on average there is approximately 1,500 pounds of human waste ( both solid and liquid ) that ends up in the parks and streets, and with the addition of this new Loo the city has a total of 8. In an urban environment of this size this is woefully inadequate, as this is approximately 1 Public Bathroom for every 315 homeless.
