A comment on I'm at San Francisco’s hottest new tourist attraction ($1.6M bathroom).

For scale, that’s the going price for a two bedroom condo in downtown sf.

I was more alarmed by the 3M sticker price reported for the outdoor education center at the Lawrence hall of sciences, across the bay. It consists of some nice landscaping, a handful of picnic benches, and some covered awnings. I’d have expected this to cost $100k-200k… with the upper range cause we are in the Bay Area. 3M!?!?

A lunch at Chipotle in SF costs $15, a beer cam be $20 with tip, that's about 10-20x the real cost anywhere else. So this tracks, lol.

Chipotle burrito is $9 to $12.50 (depending on the meat you pick) in suburban Minnesota.

$15 doesn’t seem… entirely absurd.

They were less than $5 before I moved to California, so perhaps time has confounded my perception here.

Where in San Francisco does a beer cost $20 with tip?

I mean, you can find a $20 beer in just about any city with an import specialty bar.

The ballpark, this open air park/permanent food truck meet up that also sells beer called Spark Social, other places. You can find places that sell beers for $6-10, not all places are this expensive, but many are.

One heck of a pour if you're tipping $14 on a $6 beer.

Weird take, I had said that one can find a place that sells $15 beers, not that all beers are $15.
