It’s really amazing how “Comode” Mamdani can take a simple concept like adding portable public toilets in the city and turn it into a $4 million boondoggle.
In 2025, the NYPD issued over 10,000 summonses for public urination, according to the Coalition for the Homeless. Advocates from the group welcomed the installation of new public toilets but said requiring a tap card or mobile phone to access the restrooms could exclude the most vulnerable New Yorkers.
The Free to Pee Coalition, led by VOCAL-NY and the Coalition for the Homeless, said in a statement:
“We are concerned that it raises several access issues for homeless New Yorkers. Many may not have a smartphone or be able to easily obtain a physical tap card to open these restrooms. Modular bathrooms alone will not change the current imbalance in bathroom access.”
It's obvious this mayor wasn’t thinking about the people who would really benefit from adding more public toilets. Mamdani has upset many people with his antisemitism and socialist/communist ways, and now, by showing off with these super expensive johns, he can add the “Free To Pee Coalition” to that list.
I guess you could say he pissed them off.
