You know that Rome was a big amazing city was because of it's water infrastructure. Public baths, toilets, fountains. This is how you do "civilization" without it getting stinky.

Likewise, 70 percent of what your average subway rider is upset about re: "the homeless" would be solved by more clean public toilets.

It is very sad that working parents feel like they need to buy a $7 cupcake to use a changing table in Flatbush.
