San Francisco officials have declared the recent test run of keeping the city’s Pit Stop public toilets open all night a success — and at about $28.50 per flush, it ought to be.

The toilets each cost an average of $200,000 a year to operate, with most of the money going to staffing and overhead.
The staff is paid $16 an hour, and are recently incarcerated. So it’s more of a jobs program, not bad.

"cost is primarily attendants." $300000 / (2 attendants * 3 stops * 3 months ) = $37500 monthly pay per attendant? Obviously other costs too, but doesn't seem to add up

I wonder how much it costs to clean urine, etc off the streets.

See, even on a economical scale a drug-addicted vagrant knows that a $28.50 flush is overpriced and is trying to save the city money by pooping on a sidewalk.

1. $300K for what?
2. Even at $28 (which it ridiculous) it’s better than the alternative

So you're saying every taxpayer in SF chips in less than $0.50 per year to revolutionize safety and sanitation for the city's homeless?

Can we not get @Charmin Charmin to sponsor so this is a free public utility?
