This will absolutely, positively be a disaster. No public facility will work unless there's a full-time attendant during hours of operation, especially with the current plague of permissiveness. Look for these to become drug dens, love booths, and yeah, housing. How do I know? The city has been here before, so either city council members hadn't been born yet or they have amnesia.

From an urban planning point of view, no pedestrian normally looks up that high (you typically only notice things two feet above your head). But it's not surprising. Rodriguez is a political hack with a patronage job. Knows nothing about transportation and streetscapes elements.

You have it backwards and apparently don't understand Broken Windows policing. It was proven that if you enforce minor infractions, the big ones just occur much less or not at all. That's the whole basis of the theory, and it worked extremely well. Nowhere was this more evident than with turnstile jumpers. People who committed serious crimes thought nothing of fare-beating, but law enforcement was there to arrest them. More often than not, these perps had laundry lists of priors. The "minor shit" you refer to will escalate to major shit if it's not stopped. If there were issues with Broken Windows, they could have been addressed. I think most of us would agree a white person who urinates in public should be treated the same way as a person of color committing the same violation.

That would be quality-of-life enforcement which the voters of NY said they don’t want.

Easiest way is to focus on your interests and obviously those that would involve automatic social interactions. Hiking, cycling, running and other active pursuits are the best IMO. But so much to do indoors with groups as well. For starters, why not check out meetup.com?
