Where Have All The Porta-Potties Gone?

Howard Martinson: So, the only two 24/7 porta potties in town are at Riverstone and at Fresh Start. They City seems to lock up all the others. What's a guy to do when nature urgently calls? If they're discrete (while urinating publically), leave 'em alone.

Question: I recently attended Portland's version of Pig Out in the Park on the Willamette. A young female with my party initially refused to use the porta-potties at the event, complaining about cleanliness, smells, and being forced to look at a men's urinal while doing her business. Do you balk at using outhouses (in campgrounds) or porta-potties?
