Wheelchair ramp that is. :rotf: I wonder who's getting paid off for this one?

Where else but San Francisco City Hall could a 10-foot-long wheelchair ramp wind up costing $1 million?
Thanks to a maze of bureaucratic indecision and historic restrictions, taxpayers may shell out $100,000 per foot to make the Board of Supervisors president's perch in the historic chambers accessible to the disabled.

I would love to know how many people use that ramp in the next 10 years. I am going to guess maybe 100 people. For that amount of people they could probably have built a presidential perch in their homes for less.

100K PER FOOT? Money's gotta be going somewhere else in there too.

Shades of what America would be like if entirely ruled by liberals.
