Do you believe $1.7 million for a public toilet?

[AviatorTom]

San Francisco, California has announced that it will cost $1.7 million and take two years to build a one-person public toilet.

What do you think of this?

[OlderAndWiser]

"The city’s parks and public works departments confirmed the figure, while stressing it was an “extremely rough” estimate that budgets “for the worst-case scenario” that could inflate costs.

It covered not just for “erecting” the toilet, but includes the clogged-up process of “planning, drawing, permits, reviews and public outreach,” the city told the Chronicle.

Once those strained steps are completed, the bathroom will be built by unions whose workers will “earn a living wage and benefits, including paid sick time, leave and training.”

“While this isn’t the cheapest way to build, it reflects San Francisco’s values,” the departments told the paper.

Ultimately, however, the real reason for the sky-high price tag is that San Francisco is now the most expensive city in the world to build anything in — topping even Tokyo, Hong Kong and the Big Apple, the city said.

San Fran-sicko will choke on its bloated bureaucracy and leftarded ideology.

[Sixgunsound]

The only value San Francisco has is what Feinstein and Waters and Newsome can extort from it.

[OlderAndWiser]

@Sixgunsound I have no desire to ever visit San Francisco. Never!

[OlderAndWiser]

Thanks for MHO!

[Sixgunsound]

I wouldn’t mind seeing Savage give a talk live, but then I’d have to drive through human fecal matter and piles of needles from the airport, and I don’t think rental insurance covers either of those.

[jshm2]

It's not that sensational.

But media being media will take the story, and run with it. Leaving the facts to catch up later.

The price tag is the funding secured - not the final bill. Not a red cent has been spent on it yet, and it's unlikely it will go ahead due to negative publicity.

[purplepoppy]

That's ridiculous but yes I can believe it. A few years ago Shrewsbury England came under similar criticism for spending £355,000 on a new toilet. (About $400,000) replacing several free cubicals with one pay to poo one. Funny enough most people just went into one of the many free toilets within a 2 minute walk.

I think the budget breakdown in cases like this is 5% on the actual building and the rest for councillors expenses.

[goaded]

In Camden, London, there's a urinal that only comes out at night. I have no idea how much it cost, but I love the idea!

[Sixgunsound]

I think your 5% estimate is too generous.

[Bethany22]

I can't even tell if that's real gold or not

[MCheetah]

Only in California can you have people that do nothing about the literal human sh*t everywhere in the streets, but have them build one toilet that could build 3,400 regular toilets instead and literally fix the homeless fecal matter problem.

Just let it all burn to the ground, already. That state can't be saved. Or at least, destroy LA and San Fran. San Diego's not too bad.

[Sixgunsound]

Elder might have something to say about that.

[TroyDT2]

San Diego is heading that way. It is only going to get worse here, since the state is 2-1 Leftist and 60% of those fleeing are conservatives.

[TroyDT2]

@Sixgunsound The Sage is great but this state is a lost cause. A loser like Gov. Nuisance is going to re-elected probably by 20%. Dahle is far from my ideal candidate, but Nuisance is so bad that for the first time since the Top Two system came into being I will be voting in the governor's race

[Sixgunsound]

@TroyDT2 I donated to Elder’s campaign and I live on the opposite coast.

It is probably one of the new high tech public toilets that can clean itself. The way things are in California today a family of homeless people will end up taking up residence in it.

[goaded]

"new high tech public toilets that can clean itself" were around last millennium.

[Sixgunsound]

How pathetic are we as a nation where it’s better to be homeless and shit on yourself because of all the money and services and legal protection you get than it is to work a job and provide for a family of four where the two adults in the household are the parents of both children?

[Guy13]

And let me guess it is flush less, solar panel contorted and will only flush when the sun gets through the clouds…

Oh 💩 ‼️

😎

[Sixgunsound]

San Francisco is one of the most corrupt regimes in the country. And that’s saying some thing.

[TroyDT2]

I wonder how much of the cost is from overregulation? I know that Commiefornia over regulations add an average of about $180K to the cost of a new home.

[Sixgunsound]

Tesla is dropping the price of housing to about 10 K. One of the many reasons why rich white liberals hate him so much is because he’s knocking out the gentrification that enriches them so much and actually helping the poor people whose votes they extort while doing everything they can to keep them boxed up in the ghetto.

[TroyDT2]

@Sixgunsound Yes, Elon is hated by the powers that be.

[MCheetah]

@TroyDT2
He's hated by everyone else, too.

[TroyDT2]

@MCheetah I don't hate him, so not everyone, but yeah, he does tick a lot of people off.

~ Ode to Capitalism ~ lol

[loveslongnails]

Even the Dem behind the funding says it's ridiculous, and it is, but it's not just the toilet itself, it's the structure. Still, it's just stupid.

[JustiReno]

They hire the mafia? And Mexicans still gonna build it should cut out the middle man

[Surely]

If that was the only wasteful thing that a government spent money on. We would be in a lot better position now!

[hafinjun]

I think we paid more then that for 2self meaning toilets for public use I think they are beer cans now

[hafinjun]

Sorry, that was supposed to be self cleaning

[tfan1]

Oh come on that’s got be a load of schit! 1.7 mil?

[Wise4myage]

I guess they can call it the Golden Throne and actually be telling the truth, lol.

[BarryLiverstone]

After reading the article and not just the headline I believe it

[FunkyMonkee]

Are they hiring ants to do the job?

[AviatorTom]

Ants are great builders. They could do it much quicker and for much less money. In fact, ants don't need money so it would be free. 😏
