Trump golf course trumps bathrooms

From the Daily News:

The same city that has spent nearly $100 million on a glitzy Trump golf course on the east side of the waterfront greenspace next to the Whitestone Bridge has again delayed the construction of long awaited - and already funded - bathrooms in the ne'er-do-well western portion of the park.

The Parks Department's $2.5 million project to add public bathrooms will now not even begin until fall 2014 - at the earliest. The multi-year delay has park goers in the western portion of the 414-acre park in desperate need of relief.

"Men are peeing constantly in public, and women will squat and take a poop right in front of you," said Dorothea Poggi, president of Friends of Ferry Point Park.

Why isn't construction of bathrooms BY TRUMP a necessary condition for allowing him to do this idiotic ego project?

$2.5 million for bathroom? this reminds us that the bathroom built at Kissena Corridor Park this summer had cost the taxpayers $1 million. Why does it cost so much to build a bathroom? more than to build a house?

Because you dont need to hire union to build your house.

This is a city project, so everyone had to get a taste.
