The first of 20 public toilets under the city’s street furniture contract with Spanish advertising giant Cemusa, Inc. opened Thursday at Madison Square Park in Manhattan.

It will be abused. The question is, how aggressive is the self-cleaning mechanism?

Very bad move, New York! They will be abused by the lowest elements in no time.
