Plans to build a state-of-the-art city toilet for more than half a million dollars scandalized the residents of the Canadian city of Vancouver, Fox TV reported.
The high-tech facility is to be placed in one of the city’s parks and is worth 645 thousand dollars. The toilet itself costs 150 thousand dollars, the rest will go to build connections and improve the terrain.
The American company that offers the facility (“Portland Lou”) ensures that it has protection against vandals and graffiti lovers. City officials also describe the toilet as a “real tank” because of its invulnerability.
But Vancouver residents see such spending as a waste. An entire villa can be built for the same amount. The city plans to install the expensive toilet in the fall of 2021.
