According to the National Public Broadcasting Station reported on the 3rd, relevant parties in New York City are promoting a new round of public toilet plans, with the goal of creating a new public toilet in each postal coding area in the city. However, this work process will be quite slow. Relevant proposals must be discussed and solicited, and even if they are approved, they must find another way to raise the required funds.

Earlier, New York City tried to add public toilets, but it was gone. In 2006, New York City decided to build 20 new public toilets, but only 5 were built. The difficulties faced by public toilets that year also existed today, especially it is difficult to find a suitable location for public toilets. Some communities also clearly opposed to stamping public toilets on their own site. Some residents said that even if there were public toilets, they did not dare to go or not, because some homeless people would treat the public toilets as habitats, and the government was not easy to manage these people occupying public toilets. Some municipal officials acknowledge that in fact, public toilets are not an isolated issue, but are closely related to some social problems existing in the mayor of New York. But in any case, adding public toilets is a good thing. (Zhen Xiang)
