1. Public urinals or a tax to pay businesses to have unrestricted urinal use
2. Planting fruit trees in the grass next to the sidewalk and in the middle of the street and such instead of normal trees, so that homeless people can get food
3. Make a thing so that you don't have to pay taxes, but then if you don't pay taxes to the police they ignore your house or don't investigate your murder or such?

There's a reason none of these ideas were suggested in the past hundred years. But I'll address the second one.

Not enough space or water for it to grow, for one thing.

[Realmfighter]

Not really. Here there are trees everywhere. If go to look outside i could see over 40 trees if i crane me neck, and i live in the middle of the city.

1. Public urinals or a tax to pay businesses to have unrestricted urinal use

Restaurants and alleys work fine.  If you can't find a place to pee anywhere that there might be other people, you're not trying hard enough.

2. Planting fruit trees in the grass next to the sidewalk and in the middle of the street and such instead of normal trees, so that homeless people can get food

Sanitation is one good reason, namely all the detritus and pests that fruit trees attract.  There's also their seasonal, typically very delicate natures, and the concerted effort need to maintain them, i.e. farming.

3. Make a thing so that you don't have to pay taxes, but then if you don't pay taxes to the police they ignore your house or don't investigate your murder or such?

We do this already.  It's called poverty.

EDIT: Holy crap, I cannot type today.

Man, businesses be all "bathrooms are customers only". Also, I'd rather not find some dark alley to pee in, thanks.
2. Seriously? Aren't there any wild fruit trees and such? My town has a ton of trees on the sidewalks and such, can't we just plant some fruit trees there instead?
3. What I mean is, you still have to pay taxes, but you can check some taxes that you want to pay, and some that you don't, in which case you won't get to benefit from them. And you don't have to be poor to not pay taxes.

[Jackrabbit]

Man, licensed B.Y.O businesses be all "Bathrooms are customers only" and suspicious clothing stores are all "bathrooms in the back, here are the keys".

[Cheddarius]

I don't get it.

1. Find large crowd
2. Unzip
3. Urinate
4. Repeat step '3' until the Police arrive to inform you of step 5.

[Jackrabbit]

I don't get it.

When you said 'be all' I was reminded immediately of the 'white guy be all' and 'black guy be all' stand up shtick.

[Cheddarius]

I see.

Just because a fruit tree is a tree doesn't mean it can survive in the same situations as you trees.

 Not to mention the other issues Aqizzar has pointed out.

 I'm personally more partial to my idea of how to help climate change by planting trees and grass on the tops of buildings of major cities.

Public urination is a bad idea.

You pee.  A girl sees your Bright Lance.  She screams.  Her boyfriend punches you with his fist.

The cops show up, and we move the discussion over to the sex offender thread.

[Cheddarius]

Well, that sucks.

[Nilocy]

Fruit growing trees wouldn't survive very well in the middle of towns, way to polluted to be of any serious nutritional use. I do like the idea though, but whose to stop people from eating them when hobo's arn't?

Also, public urination's easy, find a park. go pee.

Here's one: How about we introduce large, cunning predators into city sewers and streets in order to cull the old and sick. We'd give people lessons in how to form protective circles around the children to keep some of them around.
