Is $1.7 million actually that bad?
I'm not sure this is unusual to San Francisco. Just a couple days ago, I saw Honolulu suggest a new public toilet would cost $1-2 million, along with $400,000 annually in maintenance and damage from vandalism.
- x0x0 3y agoIf you spent $500/day/toilet cleaning a conventional toilet that costs $30k, it would take you 3400 days to break even. And you could have that conventional toilet installed in under a month.
- opwieurposiu 3y agoI would so love to be the caretaker of a toilet in Honolulu for $400,000. Where do I apply for this job?

- huytersd 3y agoI just set up a new business and it cost me to $27,000 to put in two male and female toilets. $1.7 mill to too much.
- stouset 3y agoYour toilets are being placed into an existing building and will be constantly monitored by employees. It’s a bit different of a use-case.
- beaeglebeached 3y agoStill. You need about 1000 8 inch cmu at $2 each, a mixerload of 10 yards concrete, a few hundred feet of pex line and a bit of 4 inch pvc, plus a toilet on the next indestructible prison toilet order. I could build that for under 100k easy and it would be nearly indestructible and easily cleaned, I know because I've done something similar; the materials cost is at best 20k and could be built mostly by unskilled homeless in need of jobs rather than some weird engineered design that demands skilled tradesman.
