"Madison, Wis., led the way for U.S. cities, with 35 per 100,000."
[L]ike the classic pissoir, [urinals] are typically only usable by people without disabilities and those who can easily use the bathroom while standing.

Madison, Wisconsin ranks #4 in this list of "minimalism-oriented cities."

Among the categories considered for each locale were the share of smaller homes and the use of public transportation, biking and walking as alternatives to driving a car; commute time; and the share of residents working from home. Nature was valued in the rankings with points for air quality, days of sunshine, milder temperatures, public parks and low energy use.

ALSO: Who called the police on a guy in a bad costume? Did anyone call the police on the person who beat up this mentally impaired person?
"MPD: Witnesses report motorcyclists going 140+ mph in downtown Madison."
A local headline prompts disbelief on Reddit.
ADDED: Stand back, nonbelievers, there is footage of the incident:
