Say goodbye to the money-draining toilets
Seattle will close all its automated public toilets by July 1, the City Council decided this afternoon.
Although people were using the five high-tech, self-cleaning silver stalls, the toilets also fostered illegal behavior, said Council President Richard Conlin.
The toilets are at Victor Steinbrueck, Hing Hay, Waterfront and Occidental parks and at 1801 Broadway. The council voted to install them four years ago to provide facilities to tourists and homeless people.
Seattle Public Utilities has spent $5 million on the contract for the restrooms.

I think this is lame. Even though I think the space toilets are creepy, who cares if homeless people use the toilets occasionally do illegal things during a few minutes of privacy?
