DeBlasio won't arrest you if drink, pee, or litter in public

If dogs can pee on the streets I do not see why the same should not pertain to people.

The last time I recently walked through Times Square I remember a guy sadly urinating openly in the street not a pleasant sight.. Granted I am not sure the individual in question was well. With no sanction against it, such behaviour it is bound to increase...

But isn't this better than urinating in elevators and staircases if restaurant and coffee house owners forbid non-customers to use their restrooms?

If city paid them more and I am sure some will be able to actually afford to live where they are working.

What you would get is more respect from both sides.
Instead you have cops coming from upstate with maybe negative stereotypes of the neighborhoods they patrol and it will play into how they interact with people

They certainly do make enough to live where they police
