From what I hear, there's not even enough space to piss either.
It sounds downright inhumane, like on the level of some kinda civil rights violation. And the city ENCOURAGES this?

If you want to be in times Square for that shit, you'll need to do some major planning. I'd personally suggest looking for a restraunt that has a view of the ball, and getting tickets for their NYE party.

I'm pretty sure they're all sold out by now.
Why the hell would ever consider times sq on NYE.. You couldnt pay me to stand in the cold all day body to body with other sardines..

That's not really the problem. When you live in the city, being packed like a can of fish is a fact of daily life. The problem is a combination of the sheer volume of people and braindead post-911 NYPD policy conspire to create conditions that would never be tolerated anywhere else.
I really think the city needs to charge for the event, and charge a lot. Enough to bring the crowd down to a much more manageable size. Take that idiot tourist money and use it to cover the costs of cleanup, then plow any leftovers into antipoverty programs. Right now the city is effectively subsidizing a media advertising event with the people's money, and that's just not right.

Sardines packed in piss
Now there's a lovely mental image for you.
America is a terrible country, celebrate somewhere else

I think I will forever use that phrase to describe the event.
"So what's New Years in Times Square like?"
"A can of sardines packed in piss."
"..."

Nah, no country knows how to celebrate excessively and inappropriately like America. That's what makes it fun!

That's a good idea, but it's probably illegal or something to shut down the entirety of Times Square and make it private or whatever.
Why would anyone want to be outdoors during New Years? Isn't it much better to be at a party or something where it's nice and toasty and you actually know the people you're with?
