The constitution applies to the Federal government. States and cities have their own constitutions, charters, etc.. Do you know what your state constitution even says? Do you know what rules apply to your city government?

Yes - nothing about parks and bike paths in it.

Do you know what rules apply to your city government?

Fortunately I don't live in a city, so only the county charter applies, and I must confess I haven't read it nor can I even find a copy of it. My point remains that unlimited government is just robbery on a grand scale, and that regardless of any constitutional constraints, governments at all levels have metastasized into all intrusive organizations that pursue their own aims at the expense of the taxpayers. If you want bike paths and parks you get together with other people who want them and you pay for them. If you force me to pay for your (recreation, healthcare, fill in the blank) then what you are practicing is a combination of robbery and receiving stolen goods.
