From the Land of Hopeless Idealists

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Those of us Seattlites who objected to this expensive social experiment objected on both these grounds (the absurd price and that they would be used for drugs and prostitution).

The arrogant Leftist Sea$$holes told us we were wrong, we didn't know what we were talking about, and jammed it through.

Just like the Monorail.

Damn glad I'm out of that Leftist hellhole. Incidentally, when they pushed this, they stated one reason for pursuing it: to give the homeless a place to relieve themselves so they wouldn't do so on public sidewalks (because of course there was no other possible way to prevent this). Tourists and residents had nothing to do with it. Based on this article, people are still relieving themselves on the sidewalks.

One solution: daily hydrant flushing ... maybe hourly ... autmoatically if there is 'suspicious behavior'

Every city council member ought to be forced to go potty in one of these things on a daily basis.

An actual toilet in Seattle.

Tell me about it. I live there!!

You could get a pretty hefty number of Porta-Potties serviced for $6,500,000.

And now more money after bad for security cameras and better lighting. What - so the folks at City Hall will have some funny movies to watch on their coffee breaks?

Our Mayor: ""As long as we have them, we've got to try and keep them safe" said Mayor Greg Nickels. "

Hell, mayor. Instead of building little-bitty crack houses all over the city, why not build one big one and send in the drug police. ooh, I'm sorry. That would be defined as discrimination and profiling.

Nothing wrong with Seattle that couldn't be cured by about 300,000 conservatives migrating here.

And people gathering inside the toilet, so many sometimes, it's hard for the doors to close.

It should be obvious that there are several problems here.
1. the toilets are too small and need to be remodeled to accommodate more people to keep the lines outside smaller

2. The toilets are encouraging the drug trade and should be relocted to safer areas in the city.

I suggest perhaps across the street from residences of the clowns who voted for them.

WA State Ping...JFK

What a stupid story. The problem is the liberal policies toward prostitutes and drug users and the story is essentially blaming the problem on toilets.
