>> If the citizen want to pay the taxes for them, and have the ability to remove the service by voting to whether the parks exist or not, they can knock themselves out by going for it.
We, of all people, know that just because the majority votes for something (out of the treasury) does not mean it is an appropriate function of government.

City run parks and libraries are not constitutional rights that are protected from the largess spending of the majority. There is a solution for cities to divest them as I said above. I'll give you one more. Having only property owners vote on issues of spending since they are the people being taxed...good luck at trying to swing that though.
