If you are pissed off about this, let your municipality (and the region that your municipality is in) know that they need to STOP widening roads, and degrow car-centric infrastructure. And that all public parking should be paid parking.
You should also tell them that housing the homeless actually saves money.
It's kind of infuriating that municipalities keep investing in money pits that will never bring a positive return to taxpayers or society, yet never have enough money for things like pools.
We need car centric infra so everyone can live in a mcmansion with a pool in the backyard!
We dont need these socialist public pools that are actually big enough for exercise and fitness! Every home should have its own 20ft long pool in the backyard and 3 SUVs on the driveway, as god intended
Gahhh! I know you're joking, but I have seen the sort of regular maintenance the workers do at public pools and never want one of my own.
Traffic lights are one of the biggest money sinks for municipalities, cities in general have the highest cost for traffic lights while rural areas its substantially lower.
City tax payers are essentially subsidizing rural and suburban comunters.

Man, that mirrors a conversation I had with a city councillor. We are constantly in a budget deficit because you'd have tax residents to death in order to catch up to this wasted spending.
