After about three years, Seattle has decided that their five (total cost $5,000,000) "self-cleaning public toilets" weren't working out too well.

A report is that they are offered for sale on eBay right now - starting bid $89,000 each. (Bidding not too fast at last report.)

The article doesn't make completely clear whether they just "didn't work well" - like most of the items discussed in this thread, or whether the real reason was that "the wrong kinds of people" were "working" them, although both complaints were implied.
