I wonder what precautions will be taken to make sure that toilet doesn't become either someone's residence or a "shooting gallery."

> Taxation is stupid. To some extent I agree. > ... US Governments have the worst value-delivered-per-dollar-collected ... Can you give me your reference for this? Looking at [0] the lowest & highest marginal tax rates, cross referenced with citizen happiness [1], USA does not seem to be the worst, but you might have better reference data.

Can't measure it that way, or probably at all, but there's no way it's the worst. There are countries with corruption out in the open.

Any founder based in SF pays a minimum of 3 business taxes to the city of SF so yes it is highly relevant.
Take your libtarded vax-passing bucket of no brains back to reddit.

#185Reminds me of their $2.4B bus terminal, which opened in 2018, closed a month later when they noticed structural cracks, reopened in 2019, then closed in 2020 for covid19. Had to walk under its unfinished skeleton every day going to work.
And is presently open and pretty cool actually, most notably the way the transbay buses have a direct link to the bridge. And I believe the full price tag included the park on top of it, which remained open (though vendors did not) during COVID. I don't have a strong opinion about whether it was all worth $2.4B, but at least it wasn't quite as much of a disaster as you are portraying.

What is your proposed alternative?
For this, let private companies install public pay toilets. Let activists fund free pay toilet passes for the homeless/poor. Eventually there should be a couple brands of private public toilets where some are essentially free (lets say you own a business in an area with no public washrooms, it may be a financial benefit to you to sponsor a public toilet) and others are more luxury with higher prices to keep the riff…
I agree, but public pay toilets are illegal.

#187I think this is only a little bit of incompetence and poor city leadership, and a lot of Baumol's Cost Disease[0], which the bay area suffers from the worst case I have ever seen.

#188I would never step foot into a public SF toliet. Last time I went in there the homeless shit all over the floor and toliet and walls. I went in and nearly threw up. A homeless person pointed and laughed at me. Fuck that.
You probably don’t want to step in SF ever. FTFY.
I had Paris syndrome for SF real bad because of how it was described by people and portrayed in movies and when I finally went there it was uhh.. not somewhere I would live forever. I'm sure it's amazing if you live in the rich areas but I got an apartment in the mission which was sold to me by some of my native friends as one of the good semi-affordable areas for young professionals and it was culture shock.

SFO is the airport. I'm very confused by this comment. We're not all working at Google right now. MTV, SFO, MPK and all of this lingo is not familiar to all
People sometimes use major airport codes as shorthand for a city or the metropolitan region the airport serves.
And anyplace without a major airport is "flyover country" often to the chagrin of people who live there.
