[QUOTE="donner, post: 3153819, member: 277"] i likely didn't phrase it well. Just pointing out that there are times when tax dollars are used for things that aren't 'strictly' public things. That we might be debating semantics and not actual distinctions. It might be a park in name but not in legal setup. It could just as easily be, legally, a private enterprise that is admitting people for free instead of charging them to enter. And that private enterprise could be enjoying the same form of tax incentives/breaks/negotiated position that other businesses have agreed to with a city, just in a different form. (i.e. a city might give 'free water' to a private group like Big Splash if it wanted the revenue/jobs badly enough, but doing so might not immediately constitute a use of public funds that would make a location 'public').
