Public toilets.
Of course it is. 🙄
More deals are made and crimes committed in NYC public restrooms than anywhere else on the planet.
Why dont they do what San Francisco does and let people crap out in the open on the streets and sidewlks?
San Francisco doesn’t have this problem.....................
“Can’t find a place to go in NYC?”
The nearest exit.
Could be a great shovel-ready jobs program. Build a set of restrooms on every corner or similar in the city, staff it with 1-2 people 24x7 to keep them clean, etc. Add to it the supporting services—toilet paper, air freshners, disinfectants, soaps, cleaning supplies, plumbers, police for the perverts, whores, and drug dealers. And the upside, maybe people not using the curb or police cars as toilets.
I'm so sure, lol, those will be safe, clean and properly maintained.
I'd rather burst.
The plan will work briefly but will be abandoned in time when bad actors will ruin them through abuse as well as public sexual interludes.
Wasn’t this a episode of M.A.S.H.?
In Europe, they work because they are properly maintained and cleaned. You have to pay an euro to use the facilities. They should do the same in NYC if they are serious about this proposal.
Just wait for the New York council to pass a bill, stating that all public buildings, hotels, restaurants, need to open their restrooms to anybody, and everybody, whether or not, they are staying there, dining there, or have business there. This will finish destroying the city.
Great idea actually. Millions of people and when you gotta go, you gotta go. Better than on the street.
It takes a lot of time and effort to build public toilets that the homeless can't intentionally destroy.
One could change the name of the city to Flushing, except that there already is a Flushing in NY.
OTOH, instead of being the Big Apple, the symbol could be Toto. (No, not the dog, and not the band.)
NYC tried public porta potties, in the 2000s I think. They became magnets for drug deals and prostitution.
For some naive reason I thought the headline at first was about sights to see for tourists but I suppose public washrooms might fit that as well.
I’ll confess I’ve entered a McDonald’s or two with no plans to buy food.
“This is really an issue of equity and justice. “
Leftist BS. Run from anyone who uses the phrase: “equity and justice”. Those “facilities” will be used for queer sex encounters and drug use more than anything else. They will undoubtedly cost a fortune and will ultimately be deemed racist. There used to be public pissers on nearly every street corner in Paris. No big deal, just a metal spiral with a trough and drain. Passersby could see the user’s feet. Didn’t cost much. No monkey business.
