I suppose my post came off demeaning, but whether you're homeless and excluded from access to basic human necessities, or a white collar office worker who is having a very bad digestive moment, there are defensible reasons why this may happen. That said, where there's a choice: I think pooping in the unpopulated far corner of the subway platform is preferable if at all possible. That's just like, my opinion, man.
I didn't read it that way.
I was just flipping the perspective to look at it as a systems and design issue, rather than a behavioral issue. When anybody poops in a subway, it's the fault of the either the architect who failed to design the thing with enough restrooms or the management/politicians who failed to keep them operating correctly. It's never the fault of the pooper unless adequate facilities are readily available and he chooses not to use them purpose.
