    Basically a publicly owned gym.

    "Modern concepts of privacy" weird me out. I'm old enough to have grown up with open locker rooms full of naked old men who dngaf. It's only been about thirty years since those days, but the change happened extremely fast. I can see a lot of arguments against them, but it's still such a rapid social change.

      “Modern concepts of privacy”

      Still some places in the "modern world" where its still perfectly normal to be nude around strangers (but usually of the same gender). Japanese onsens are a good example, and I understand that Finnish saunas follow a very similar protocol.

      If you put the two side by side what would people choose? I wager the private ones mostly.

      If you put a swimming pool at the same facility you can have a good argument for both because sports teams or school classes may prefer to use group changing for various reasons.
