New Yorkers can take solace in the fact that their rights to be equally disgusting, offensive and unsanitary and to publicly expose themselves to passing strangers, including children are now protected by Mayor Bill de Blasio and his city council.
An assortment of quality-of-life laws are being relegated to the ranks of the non-enforced because too many minorities are being arrested under them. When an overly large percentage of the violations of a law take place among a particular minority or ethnicity, the liberals naturally assume there is something wrong with the law or those who are enforcing it. The easy solution, when possible, is to just gut or jettison the law.

I think this has something to do with “new york values.”
The practice isn't new of course, but is not as common out here on the prairie, what with the stupid draconian laws which lead to registering as a sex offender when apprehended urinating outdoors. THAT is stupid. NYC used to have a lot of public urination, one of my cousins (older, long route around through the family tree) complained in the 1980s about having to see that going on back when she and her husband lived in NYC in the 1930s.
Public lewdness would make young godless females giggle I suppose.
