        The toilets each cost an average of $200,000 a year to operate, with most of the money going to staffing and overhead. The staff is paid $16 an hour, and are recently incarcerated. So it’s more of a jobs program, not bad.https://nypost.com/2019/08/02/san-francisco-curbs-waste-with-200000-public-toilets/ …

        "cost is primarily attendants." $300000 / (2 attendants * 3 stops * 3 months ) = $37500 monthly pay per attendant? Obviously other costs too, but doesn't seem to add up

        I wonder how much it costs to clean urine, etc off the streets.

        See, even on a economical scale a drug-addicted vagrant knows that a $28.50 flush is overpriced and is trying to save the city money by pooping on a sidewalk.

        1. $300K for what? 2. Even at $28 (which it ridiculous) it’s better than the alternative

        So you're saying every taxpayer in SF chips in less than $0.50 per year to revolutionize safety and sanitation for the city's homeless?

        Can we not get @Charmin Charmin to sponsor so this is a free public utility?
