Not in a million years! It’s a city - I live out in the country where I can pee anywhere! 
I wouldn’t have a problem with restaurants where employees could legally piss in the food. A smart restauranteur would quickly institute a policy wherein any employee peeing in the food would be fired on the spot. Piss-free restaurants would thrive, and pissy restaurants would go under within a week.
I’m actually curious if you guys thought about this:
What about someone starting a urine-free housing complex? It’s walled and gated (so there will be some pee at the entrance) but otherwise, it’s generally safe. They require residents to sign an HOA not to pee anywhere. If HOAs are legal anyway here, that would get around fair housing practices, it seems to me. (Of course, I’m just bullshitting here.) You wouldn’t be able to screen people to see if they would pee anyway, and you wouldn’t have an legal recourse if they peed, but you would be able to kick them out for violating the HOA.
Would this sort of business be legal there? Or would the pee-anywhere mandate be similar to non-smoking mandates, in that there can be no business that allows smoking when there’s a city-wide ban? In Peetown, are all business required not to infringe upon a legal occupant’s right to piss?
And the justice system would be proofed against selection bias, as one would be guaranteed of being judged by a jury of pee-ers.
Oooh, ooh, was it Montreal?
If there wasn’t a cop around or you were just alone near the guy you could probably beat the crap out of him and say “prove it”… That would probably be a deterrent as great as yelling a racist remark around people of a different skin color.
Wouldn’t that be Trespissers?
Heh.
(& yeah, if the nightly cleanings kept down the funk, I’d live there)
I wouldn’t want to live in this city - mostly because I don’t want to live in any city, no matter how nice it is, but also, I’m not confident that humans are basically decent enough not to turn it into a stinking urinal - even with laws against dropping litter, for example, common decency doesn’t stop people being careless, inconsiderate assholes.
Right, but the question is, *without *laws against dropping litter, are they any worse? Chicago doesn’t seem to ever enforce littering laws (if we have any - I honestly don’t know), we just clean up a lot. We do enforce public urination laws, and the El still stinks. I’d rather they hose it down nightly than issue tickets to people who have no intention (or means) of paying them.
You’re always going to have x number of public urinators, or litterers, laws or no. I just think that there won’t be x + a lot without those laws. x + a few, probably, and those few on the outsides of buildings or in alleyways which are cleaned nightly. I just don’t think many people who are the type to whip out the trouser snake and spray the dinner table with it are much constrained by laws anyway.
I wouldn’t want to live in a city of 100,000 period. I don’t care for the city.
Aside from that, what’s going to happen to the recieving waters from all this pee? It’s going to go into the lakes, rivers and streams without being treated first. That’s ok in small doses, but a city of 100,000? That’d be too much, I think.
I don’t think I’d want to be part of that.
I believe things would be worse, without regulations holding them back. People do what it permitted everywhere, many people do what is not permitted when they can get away with it, assholes do what they want without caring. If local authorities told people it was OK to drop litter wherever they wanted, I think more people would drop more litter.
Similarly, I think that a complete condonation of urination in any place would result in more urination in places we don’t currently consider appropriate.
Because you’re redefining what is acceptable behaviour. People will settle into a new pattern of behaviour in relation to what is now acceptable.
I assume normative laws and municipal codes pertaining to indecent exposure would still be applicable. You may pee wherever and however you wish, but you may not expose the parts from which you pee to the open air in order to do so.
Sure, count me in.
They’re your clothes 
Shouldn’t that be “trespee-ers?”
*d&r
“Kent Brockman here: Tonight we’ll all be enjoying golden showers…what?”
Seriously folks, you guys have never been on a river trip and had the experience of a woman taking a leak mid-conversation whilst maintaining eye contact?
I wouldn’t be eating in restaurants, thats for damn sure.
And buffets are definitely out.
Yeah, I’d totally move to Urinetown. The area where I lived in Baltimore often smelled like pee, so nightly cleaning would be a definite improvement over that. Also, I once had a very drunk guy pee on my carpet, and I had to clean it up in the middle of the night; it wasn’t so terrible. Also, I plan to make a lot of money by inventing pee-detecting strips, like pH testing paper, that you can use to test for the presence of urine in food and beverages.
Nah, indecent exposure laws would infringe upon the Right of the People to Pee Anywhere, so they’re right out.
It does. It’s called San Francisco.
Except the cost of living thing. Housing is very expensive there, and crime is very very bad.
I’d love to live there. As a local girl once told me right before I peed on the Eiffel Tower, “you are a boy; zee world is your toilet.” I firmly believe she was right.
Oh, come on! You gotta be shittin’ me!

Oh, sorry. Wrong town.
