San Francisco politicians have created a huge stink after agreeing to spend $1.7 million on a single public toilet — with even a local resident who campaigned for it gasping, “This s–t’s expensive.”
Despite a crippling rise in crime and homelessness across the California city, lawmakers bragged to the San Francisco Chronicle about securing the staggering amount for a single toilet in 150 square feet of space.
“They told me $1.7 million, and I got $1.7 million,” Democratic Assemblymember Matt Haney proudly told the paper of the state funding he had to log for the loo.
The potty price tag involves several rounds of reviews and evaluations — also meaning completion will be stalled until at least 2025.
