You can only have things like public pools if you have a high level of public trust.
When I remember the beautiful pools and parks in my home towns and what they have degenerated into makes my heart hurt.
Now you have to be in private settings in order to enjoy these amenities . Country clubs, private schools, private organizations.
In my town here I had lobbied 30 years ago for the town to purchase an abutting property to turn it into a park for the town to enjoy. I was overruled and a small six house development was built.
I now thank my lucky stars!
It’s called “the tragedy of the commons”. When stuff is free or almost free you don’t appreciate it and thus don’t take care of it.
