xitter.cf/sfchronicle/status/187… The conclusion from this shouldn't be that city can cut the cost of a toilet by 80% when put under a microscope. The conclusion should be that the city is wasting huge sums of money and spending 8-10X what needs to be spent on every project. $2B for a 1.7 mile stretch of subway comes to mind. @DanielLurie @mattdorsey @JoelEngardio @JackieFielder_ @bilalmahmood @RafaelMandelman @DannySauter

In 2022, San Franciscans were scandalized over the astronomical cost of a restroom in Noe Valley after city officials estimated it would cost $1.7 million. Now, officials say they’re able to build one toilet in Bernal Heights’ Precita Park for $262,000. trib.al/PpNqcK8

No more $1.7 million toilets? S.F. says it can now build bathroom for about $260,000

San Francisco seems to have figured out how to build cheaper toilets. The project timeline will also be significantly reduced, shrinking from roughly 17 months to just nine, according to officials.

Asking the federal government to operate within the same levels of funding it had in 2022 shouldn't be seen as impossible or insane. It should be a starting point.   reason.com/2023/01/13/cuttin…

Cutting government back to last year's size wouldn't be 'impossible' or 'severe'

Asking the federal government to operate within the same levels of funding it had in 2022 should be the starting point.

Printing money caused inflation. It’s that simple. A child can understand the principle of dilution. But now, to combat inflation, the government’s plan is to slow down the economy by increasing interest rates. I hope enough people will realize the firefighters are arsonists.
