This is absolutely by design, and it is so users can be provided the absolute minimum of Privacy-ish^tm^, but also explicitly so that management can easily verify if a stall is occupied in case any poors/junkies are camping out in there.

It's also so that public bathroom facilities can be spray-down, and you can wedge a brush in the gaps easily without there being crevices for mold/mildew and other... substances... to remain in.

... except the recently renovated bathrooms at the Denver Public Library have individual locking shit-shacks with communal sinks. It's not like junkies avoid the DPL, they have a box of Narcan bolted to the outside of the building.

Yes that makes sense

You seem to be misattributing the causes of homelessness with public restroom design, though, which are two different things. It's an arms race if anything.

Idk maybe you live somewhere where there are a lot more problems with public toilets than I do

Edit: who's mad in this thread lol

I'm not attributing anything to anything, I am just stating an established fact as to why public bathroom stalls are designed that way. If you want to stick motives on people, find their original designers.
