Prepare so that the City Council is eliminated even more from your money, Gothamites: our intrepid leaders have approved a bill with the aim of building at least 2,120 public bathrooms by 2035, half or them public property.
Yes, the bill is only committed to planning The scheme, but that is not yet based on reality.
Just do some fast mathematics.
Bill Sandy Nurse sponsor (D-B’klyn) cites the figures of the park department with “almost $ 3- $ 5 million” for regular brick and mortar bath.
Too exensive, by nurse. She cites the example of the prefabricated Portland loo, which costs “only” one million dollars, as a possible alternative.
In fact, each Loo of Portland current It costs around $ 185,000.
It is the horrible regulatory environment of New York City (that the leftists such as the nurse created and love) that promoted the cost of installation in almost 500% to the nurse of the figure of one million dollars in a hurry Appointment.
What means the “best” case Here is that taxpayers would disburse More than $ 2.2 billion
And if you think the best case is happening, you can also expect the Ty-D-bol man to pay it.
That number of millions of dollars more crazy per leaves Five Such bathrooms, one in each municipality.
Can you imagine the budget balloon and excess time for 2,120?
Do the contractors twisted with their hands outside?
Do “bathroom equity” sprout during the night in a shower curtain?
And putting half of any new installation on public property is a recipe for disaster, since the city refuses to take care of what it already has.
A 2024 study Of the City Council It shows that two thirds two thirds! – If the city’s public bathrooms were closed or unusable, and that 10% lacked soap and 13% toilet paper; 40% were covered with garbage.
For decadesSome of the best minds in the city government have not been able to discover how to provide an adequate number of public baths in this city. And how to keep them clean and safe, one opens.
In other words, in the public bathroom question, the councilor’s nurse is absolutely full. . . Shinola
And it is the regular New Yorkers who will have to endure the stench.
