San Francisco Public Toilet Once Priced At $1.7M Opens To Fanfare, Relief For Lowered Cost
April 22, 2024
People in San Francisco’s Noe Valley neighborhood celebrated the opening of a public toilet on Sunday that made headlines for its $1.7 million estimated cost before eventually being built for much less.
About 100 people packed Noe Valley Town Square to celebrate a brand-new bathroom that drew international mockery in 2022 for the astronomical price tag. The public outcry forced the city to flush that idea down the toilet.
“Noe Valley, let’s hear it for our ‘not-1.7-million-dollar-bathroom,’” declared event organizer Leslie Crawford to the cheering crowd.
