You might remember the proposed million-dollar San Francisco toilet.<\/p>\n
\nA San Francisco restroom once estimated to cost $1.7 million is now up and running for the public after the city received criticism, jokes and a generous donation.<\/p>\n
San Francisco Recreation and Parks opened the single public restroom in the Noe Valley neighborhood after receiving a donation that cut the city’s cost to under $200,000, Daniel Montes, the city agency’s communication manager, told USA TODAY in an email.<\/p>\n
Public Restroom Company’s and Volumetric Building Companies’ donations equate to a combined $425,000 and include a prefabricated modular restroom and all associated installation work, the city agency said in a January 2023 news release. Public Restroom Company, a Nevada-based business, also donated a toilet previously used for demonstration purposes in trade shows.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Not sure how a $425K worth of donation cut costs by almost a million two, but hey, this is political money and I’m pretty sure every roll of Life-Savers a pol writes off costs the taxpayers $100K.\u00a0 Anyway, at the grand opening:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted to, you know, really roll with it,\u201d Zach D\u2019Angelo, dressed as a giant roll of toilet paper with a red plunger as his hat, told the New York Times at the event. D\u2019Angelo stepped away from hosting trivia at a pub down the street to be the event’s emcee, or what he called “the Grand Poobah,” the outlet reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Better enjoy the crapper while you can, folks. We’ve seen what many of your denizens have done to the rest of the city, and that toilet probably has a resultant lifespan\u00a0 shorter than a fruit fly’s.<\/p>\n
Poobah. On a roll. Boy, this one just BEGS for JeffLPH!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
