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.
(1) I never said public parks and public libraries were unconstitutional — I said they were beyond the proper scope of government. They are.
(2) Parks and Libraries AREN’T rights ... which means they are not necessarily owed to the citizenry.
I’m less worried about the solution for cities than I am about the solution for taxpayers that are disinterested in funding porn access for homeless people (which, as I understand it, is a primary role of public libraries).
As always, private funds are at the behest of the majority — for parks, libraries, or whatever else they want.
