English term or phrase: commodities
But Black isn't convinced that all the county's bathrooms are still necessary {commodities}, given that any manner of public and private developments sprung up around them in the past decades. "The first critical question is, 'Do we still need this facility, or don't we?' If it's at our marinas or our outdoor pools, absolutely. If it's at a more remote location, then it's questionable."

付费公共浴室


Explanation:

我还不太明白,{}在这里是标出有疑问的部分对嘛,还是文章中原本就有个这样的符号?

我理解Black的意思可能是:他觉得本县已不再需要保留所有的付费公共浴室了。

不过可能还需要提供更多上下文以便理解。

pulic facilities是免费的公共设施;但commodity感觉应该是付费的公共设施。商品房不是commodity housing嘛。

这句话有问题。given that后面应该加完整句子,但它这里后面是个名字性词组。
