San Fran - moronic.
Even toilets are expensive in San Francisco.
Operating three 24-hour public toilets adds $300,000 to the city's sanitation budget, according to recent city data reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.
Since 2014, a San Francisco program called "Pit Stop" has been delivering mobile public restrooms to areas where many of the city's homeless residents live and congregate. In these locations, especially the Tenderloin neighborhood, sidewalks can wind up scattered with human feces.
The Pit Stop program started with restroom stations in just three locations, and it has since grown to include 24 stations across 13 neighborhoods. In addition to giving homeless residents a place to use the restroom, the stations come with used-needle receptacles and dog-waste disposal bins.
But only three locations are open 24 hours. They're part of a pilot program that began in August and will last until July 2020. The other 21 stations have varying hours: Some are open from 9 a.m to 8 p.m., while others have more limited service.
Most of the additional operating costs for the pilot program goes toward paying staff attendants who help ensure that stalls aren't misappropriated for drug use or prostitution.
