They don’t need 1.7 million to build the toilet. They need 1.7 million to pay for round-the-clock security to make sure the homeless don’t build a camp around the toilet.
Is this to enlarge the gutters on Market St.?
Then the toilet locks itself and sprays water all over the inside.
This provides a level of cleanliness and discourages the homeless from using it as a shelter.
I can't see this being very popular in a state that wants to save water and where someone could pretend to get stuck inside and sue.
Combo facility:
1 toilet.
Also, sleeps 12.
A 10 x 15 room for a single crapper? Hope they budgeted in the chandelier.
The USA has the most bloated, expensive government in the world
I wouldn’t take the job cleaning that ****house for any wage.
They should build a trench through ‘homeless’ sections that ‘flushes’ once a day at 8 pm... They can use saltwater or gray water... cheaper then the stench.
Can you imagine who many panhandlers will be camped out around that thing?
Grift, pay off money, bribes, corruption...that's where 1.7 million dollars goes for a toilet.
The city officials do not care that business’s are leaving.
Those in charge are stealing money like this $1.7 Million. They are just bigger thieves then the ones robbing into the stores directly.
‘Descended Into A City Of Chaos’: CEO Closes San Francisco Store, Scorches Liberal City’s Lawlessness

it’s a $1MM combine toilet/gloryhole/shooting gallery...
The entire city is a toilet.
The city was flushed with cash.
If I hired a plumber to install a toilet and it would take him 3 years to finish the job and charge me 1.7 million, I’d be pissed.
I remember pay toilets. Department stores had toilets and you needed 5 cents to go into a stall. For stand up needs, no charge. Even way back then the whining voices of “fairness,” “equity,” “misogyny” spoke up and got the things eliminated. So you didn’t have toilets in department stores. Nice going, progressives!
The politicians soon saw an opportunity to make another law, and so they did. Now some public places were required to have free toilets. But not all. Remember gas stations? They had toilets and they cleaned your windshield while they pumped the gas. No more.
Would public toilets work, like in Paris? I doubt it. Civilization has deteriorated to the point where this would not work. They would soon become drug dens and rape rooms. They would be full of trash, excrement and drug needles. Anarchists would take over and bar anyone else from going in, since they were allowed free rein in Portland in 2020 in their “autonomous areas.” Unspeakable crimes would take place in them.
I had an enlightening conversation w/ a contractor who was working on a new bathroom facility by the Marine Corp Memorial in Arlington, VA (Iwu Jima).
I asked him why it took so long to build a simple, single-story facility, and he said that they had to put in structural redundancies and HVAC equipment that would be needed only for 4+ -story buildings.
“We get paid either way,” he said.

Over $11,000.00/sq ft.
Must be a union contractor.
I’ve been avoiding this movie. I did not know it was documentary of sanfransicko:

“Wracked with guilt over the suicide of her bullied sister, young karate student Megumi accompanies four older friends on a trip into the woods: smart girl Aya, her druggie boyfriend Také, full-figured model Maki, and nerdy Naoi. Things start to go badly when Maki finds a parasitical worm inside a fish - and wolfs it down, in the hope that it will keep her skinny. Her stomach later feels horrible and she relieves herself in an outhouse. The parasitic worm she ate had apparently laid eggs in her stomach
