Ramping up the deficit

Where else but in San Francisco could the local government spend $699,413. on a ten foot ramp for wheelchair accessibility? Board President David Chiu defended the project and said the cost is "significantly" lower than the 1.1 million dollar original plan*. WTF that's over 100k a foot. I thought the defense department spending $640. on a toilet seat was bad, but if our service men and women are going to put their ass on the line the least they deserve is a good seat.
