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 On trips to NYC this has been my single biggest complaint.

@futurebird I cannot stress enough how public toilets are necessary for the non cis male public. Whenever I travel, or even when I just leave home for a few hours it is an issue. Especially for those who can't afford cafés and such. Shops used to have toilets over here whenever they had a seated area. Now you're lucky to find one and not pay a Euro for it.

No one wants to walk past or smell the works of those who can do without a facility either. Regardless.

@futurebird I recently stayed in a decent hotel. The people working at reception (open about 12 hours a day) had to go to a cafe across the street every. single. day.
Seriously the working conditions have eroded badly these past years and politicians still frame everyone of being work shy. -

THIS is the kind of thing "broken windows" was supposed to be about! Fix the problems that make people feel ignored and left out

@futurebird I like Zohran because he goes to solve obvious problems instead of coming up with complex justifications why he can’t.
I remember when I lived in NYC they were removing trash bins from subway platforms to “encourage NYers to carry their trash home with them.” This led to a predictable increase in trash fires delaying subway trains.

@futurebird When describing NYC I always praise the food, culture, parks, interesting architecture, and the transit system but I always end with “but the smell, especially in summer.” I’m guessing residents get used to it, but it’s really powerful

@futurebird It's very weird for me to retoot this – for years I lived under what was the communism/socialism in Poland. This was pure authoritarianism and had very little to do with the ideas of freedom and equality, and I was definitely anti-communist. Over the last decades I learned more about the biology of humans. We're social animals. Socialism is the way to go.

@futurebird This is a huge leap forward for public health in NYC. A coup for human rights for the poor. And also pretty good for me, personally. The cycle of “I need to pee so I will buy a caffeinated or alcoholic beverage” is such a pain.
