Public Toilet Opens in NYC

The New York Times has this report on the inauguration of a public pay toilet in the Big Apple. This'll go down as a huge event in the history of urban America, both culturally and legally. Culturally because the bathroom is self-cleaning and could thus end the scourge of filthy public restrooms everywhere. And legally because public urination laws are untenable if the state doesn't provide a place to piss.

    It might have been a huge event in the history of urban America if San Francisco hadn't installed these kind of toilets over ten years ago.
