$578,000 for a fancy portapotty.

enough to make you want to start a witch hunt..

The $578,000 modular bathroom

Brawner Farm at the Manassas National Battlefield Park puts a high premium on its bathrooms. Under the supervision of the National Park Service, the government has spent over $578,000 to erect a "comfort station."

You read that correctly–$578,000–for a bathroom in a park.

Replacing the standard, plastic portable waste receptacles previously in the park, one could imagine these tax dollars were on a hand-built, beautiful "comfort facility" for the fine visitors of this park, right?

well, NO,

Delivered in two modular pieces, this moderately-sized example of engineering mediocrity (complete with unsightly faux stone siding) sits three of each gender at a time.

I have seen costs for fancy houses in remote locations costing a bit more for basic construction services.. but this is downright obnoxious
