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 Visitors too.
You can't see it in all the video and stuff, but the whole downtown area smells like piss. Then it got humid.
That was the one thing that really struck me when I went there for a job interview. The constant sense I was in a bathroom...and not a clean one.
Surprised the rich want to live in that. I guess they're kinda up above it though.
Imagine what it was like in the horse days. Though I do prefer the smell of horse shit to car shit. Healthier too?

@carrideen @futurebird in Queens, where we have all the big-box retail, it's a little easier. but then you gotta be at big box retail. sigh.
@VCP @carrideen @futurebird an NYC puzzle: posh person on the 4-5-6 or Q with a large water bottle (one of those half-gallon things). What do they do when they drink the water?
A different and more universal puzzle: people with water bottles at the pool.

@adardis @VCP @futurebird Conspicuous hydration is such a flex in a toiletless city!

@futurebird I don’t know having all the shit on the street in New York made it feel more cosmopolitan

@futurebird And he's gonna force the public schools to teach ARABIC NUMBERS!!!!111
@lemgandi @futurebird no way it’s gonna switch back to Roman numerals

@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).

@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".

@futurebird @Flo_Rian @lemgandi Especially chemistry books.

@JonnyT I’ve 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 aren’t 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 don’t need). Honestly I cannot find “ clean restrooms “ anywhere in Karl Mark’s 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
