San Francisco built a public restroom in Noe Valley that was reported to cost $1.7 million, sparking outrage. The actual cost was about $200k, though the city threw a large celebration for the opening that wasn't included in that figure.
A bathroom in San Francisco almost caused a public shitstorm, and honestly, rightfully so. A public restroom finally opened in the Noe Valley neighborhood in San Francisco that was once estimated to cost a whopping $1.7 million to build. When the budget was first released for it, people were up in arms, and rightfully so. That's more than it costs to build housing in San Francisco. Luckily, the actual spend came in way under, about $200 grand, which is still a pretty sizable chunk, but not nearly as much as $1.7 million. And no, that budget doesn't include the big blowout celebration that the city had once the bathroom opened for business. Follow me for more Bay Area real estate.
