This is a good thing for Portland. Having loos will most definitely welcome more tourists to Portland and the surrounding areas. $140,000 per loo sure is hard to understand though. We should educate the communities to ask for their support on the things it's going to need from the public for this to succeed. Things such as: • Privacy for others and yourself • safety • cleanliness, proper edicts' • time of usage Portland now has its second of ten loos installed.

True, public restrooms “creep out” a lot of people. But Portland’s Old Town Chinatown is a 24/7 neighborhood which welcomes visitors of all income levels. That’s why so much thought and planning are going into the design of the Portland Loo.

The simple yet sophisticated toilet has been applauded by users. Watched over by the public, it remains clean and graffiti-free. Remember this is the prototype. As additional units are produced for Portland and cities throughout the US, the price will come down.
