Perhaps bathrooms had to be charged for due to a sufficiently significant portion of the population causing damage to them.
Perhaps the California law requiring free bathrooms was a way for California leaders to shirk responsibility for providing clean bathrooms to all and foist costs onto private businesses. I always assume this is the case when government requires businesses to do provide something at a price the government sets. The politicians get all the acclaim and none of the headaches of fixing (or not really fixing) the problem, win win for them.
If Utah does not have the population that causes damage to bathrooms, then its politicians would not yet have needed to come up with a law requiring free bathrooms.
They don't have as much of the demographic that causes damage to property because of the religious and cultural backbone here that (decreasingly so) binds this state. For all the complaints people throw at the Mormons, standard of living, average level of education, and crime rate, are all fantastic compared to most other places.
As the culture becomes one to not punish those for bad actions, not shaming bad lifestyle choices, and begins to artificially force an unnatural level of multiculturalism, society rips apart.
I'm not even a conservative either. But this "social progressivism at all costs" disorder that our country has developed is going to have dire, and inevitable consequences.
