Libraries don't charge me, that's the beauty of it. I can exist there with or without a library card. Drink water, use the bathroom, read all day etc. The taxes pay for the maintenance and resources.

Can't taxes pay for state park maintenance behind the scenes the same way rather than charging at the door? I get they want money from visitors using the park but there's things like fuel taxes and hotel taxes and campground fees that could pay into that too. I don't know what the actual fee for entry would be but still I think that having a fee to exist in nature feels kind of dystopian to me idk.
