[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.

As a local, I, too, strongly objected to these toilets...and I think these city Council members should be FORCED to stand guard at these toilets 24/7.

Perhaps we could kill two birds with one stone then...not only would their toilet sentinel shifts maybe reduce the criminal use of these toilets...but, it would also keep these city council idiots preoccupied and unable to keep saddling the taxpayers with more of their harebrained ideas.

Believe me, these toilets are far from the only crap they have subjected our city to.

I often wonder if many street people are alcoholics and if so, perhaps they're suffering from Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. This is caused by years of consistent alcohol abuse and if they have it, and if they don't have anyone to take care of them or institutionalize them, then they hit the street. Then it really doesn't matter if there is a bathroom right next to them, they don't have the sense to even pull down their pants a lot of times.
