@futurebird One of the hardest things for my mom when she has tried to visit me in New York has been toilet access. If you are not used to just holding it for hours, which most of us are, the city is totally inaccessible. I showed her that most hotels will not stop you from using a lobby toilet if you look like you know what you are doing, and she was convinced the city has made me insane. And then you visit a place like Tokyo and have a luxury bidet toilet experience in a subway station...
@carrideen @futurebird A *clean* luxury bidet toilet experience.
(Not actually a luxury in Japan. Many/most toilets are like them, I believe).

If this is a big enough initiative it will have a huge impact on quality of life for new yorkers. I don't know if it is big enough. Nonetheless *this* is the way to address the things that make people feel like the city is a dump. It's also just... civilized. IDK. How do you call it a city and you have no bathrooms?
Anyway welcome to communism.
@futurebird There will always be reasons why a basic idea is not big enough. Cheers to him for doing and moving to the next thing.

@futurebird Ironically, this problem only exists because each of us owns the means of "production".

@JonnyT Iโve never had a bidet toilet at home in Japan, only the standard heated seat.

The homeless and drug users will ruin the new bathrooms. Without addressing that issue first, this is just a waste of time.
@LoseFriendsandAlienatePeople Maybe NYC and other big cities just arenโt for you.

@futurebird Communism? To offer tourists and locals the opportunity denied to nonshoppers? Some stores have restrooms for their shoppers but folks with housing difficulties and people just popping around looking
must dive into any available facility ( or buy something they donโt need). Honestly I cannot find โ clean restrooms โ anywhere in Karl Markโs manifesto! -

@futurebird more toilets mean i can place more often... some... big apples?
-
@futurebird I hope it succeeds! Seems like a no-brainer... if there is one thing everybody has in common, it's a need to use the toilet.
@nguarracino @futurebird I agree. I think we need to update the Maslow pyramid. Toilet, Food, Shelter, Healthcare?

@futurebird This is about human dignity and basic human decency. The opposite of Trumpism.

@futurebird That might boost tourism!

@futurebird man, yep
I was there one whole weekend and the toilet situation was one of my top complaints. Good man! -
@futurebird if this continues, Zohran might throw people onto roofs

Huge cities seem like shit holes.
Generally, I don't like extremes. Cities can be too large, but can also be too small. -

@futurebird Public bathroom infrastructure is a huge, positive thing. As a Torontonian, I am extremely jealous of how seriously Mamdani is taking these very basic issues.

There are a couple of playgrounds here which do have bathrooms but whether or not they are open is pretty hit and miss.
A friend had to take their daughter to the nearest bar to use the bathroom to make sure she didn't have an accident in early potty training days.
Luckily it's the kind of neighborhood place which is very ok with that but having to leave the playground to go to a bar for that is not a sign of a healthy city.

This is why I dread traveling through red states. Almost zero public services or recreation.

@futurebird but what happens if then the people don't piss in building entrances anymore or in the corners in the subway? What will the people do that waste their time cleaning up such.... Never mind. -

@futurebird "but drug users and homeless people!"
yes because obviously the way to reduce drug abuse and homelessness is to make people piss and shit on the sidewalk
"In socialist NYC..."
