Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: washrooms - 2 required in commonhouse?

[Kay Argyle (argyle]

At Wasatch Commons, SLC Utah, the common house has three bathrooms, all of
them gender-neutral:  one full bathroom upstairs by the guestroom, one large
handicap-accessible 3/4 bathroom with a roll-in shower, downstairs between
the kids room and what was going to be the other guestroom, and a half
bathroom by the kitchen.

(Question:  Why do unisex bathrooms never have urinals?  When an uncle of
mine, with eleven kids, mostly boys, was building a new house, he wanted
urinals in the bathrooms as well as commodes, because there would be fewer
splashes and dribbles and the bathroom would stay cleaner.  The builder did
his absolute best to talk him out of it.  Said urinals would reduce the
resale value of the house(!).)
