    I don't know whats dumber....that they banned urinals (which are much easier to use than terlits) or that people are upset that there are urinals in mens bathrooms (even if they're unisex bathrooms) to begin with.

    When I rebuild my bathroom (in some other life), I will be putting in a urinal. Wastes less water, and it's much quicker.

    Uhmm...yeah. Faster to use. More hygienic with less pee on the floor and seat. Don’t have to raise or remember to lower a seat. More toilets in less space. And who says women can’t use them? Ever see the movie “Blue Like Jazz”?

    Ridiculous.

    Ridiculous that you care so much about a place to relieve yourself.

    When they start banning Urinals because political correctness, this city really has gone off the deep end.
    If they ban mirrors in the women's restrooms, OMG, I ccan hear it now.
    I suppose the Mayor wont approve a honey bucket for assisting the homeless if its has a Urinal.

    When they start taking stuff away because of politics.....wow

    That’s an odd reply to the points I made. I think my post was pretty clear as to why urinals are preferable. My main objective when using a public restroom is to be able to get in and relieve myself quickly and without sitting or standing in someone’s urine. Urinals work better for both. I don’t see that the reason for their removal is explained well in the article.

    exactly. This stupid idea will result in an alarming rise in the spread of disease (urinals require no actual skin contact by users, and many guys will just piss on a wall rather than wait in a long line) and perpetual waiting lines for women at toilets.

    Like everything that comes out of Portland these days, stupid, stupid, stupid.

    I think you might be conflating issues here.

    Here in LA, the mens room turned into "all gender", while the womens room stayed womens rooms.

    Make them all All-gender.....and let the women suffer like we all do.

    Your justification would be fine if urinals never existed in the first place. The problem is outlawing completely harmless and ergonomically friendly bathrooms to accommodate a handful of well-to-do liberal city council members’ egos. There are small businesses that are going to have to spend thousands remodeling because of this fake outrage bullshit, many of them barely getting by as it is. This is little Portland trying to strut their stuff to the big liberal cities, it’s a fucking joke.

    You know men are a thing right? Like people who have dicks? It’s ok to be born with a dick, it doesn’t make you a bad person.
