Wow

Apparently it went down in price. But my only comment for the "put it to better use" would be that if a toilet is 1.7m, then anything else will consume 1.7m for just the meetings on what the alternative would be.

most parties directly involved benefit from higher total sticker prices. See also Former SF building inspector took bribes headline.. as if only one did !

Still a long way to go to catch up to Geneva.
