Seattle selling five hi tech toilets on eBay
SEATTLE - Seattle's five problem-plagued public toilets could be yours if you're flush.
City officials decided to pull the plug on the multimillion-dollar self-cleaning toilet stalls and instead put them on the auction site eBay. Starting bids are $89,000 apiece. Neighbors and city-commissioned analysts said the unisex facilities attracted drug users and prostitutes, and were less cost-effective than regular public restrooms. On May 19, the City Council voted to remove the problem toilets. Council President Richard Conlin said although people were using the high-tech, self-cleaning silver stalls, they also fostered illegal behavior, such as prostitution and drug use. The German-made automatic, high-tech toilets were installed in 2004 and have cost the city about $5 million. Each has handsfree washing and drying ability and an emergency button that automatically dials 911. The automated doors on the impact- and graffiti-resistant toilets will close Aug. 1, said Andy Ryan, a spokesman for Seattle Public Utilities. The auction will last for 10 days. As of Thursday morning, none of the toilets had received any bids. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25721700/ |

That would be right. They became a public nuisance. Prostitutes would hang out in them and service their clients right then and there. Drug dealers too. Homeless people would hang out in them and do what a lot of them are doing to the rest of Seattle. They were supposed to be self cleaning. Maybe we could send them with the Sonics.
