To be fair: if this design was the price for free water everywhere I would pay for it. I want a world where I can get free drinking water everywhere so I don’t have to carry it.
Meanwhile my shitty little European town has recently installed a fountain for drinking, filling up your bottle and also with a dog drink station, completely free.
“Free”
Nothing is free
Someone paid for the fountain. Either you, your neighbor, your friend, or your fellow countryman. But someone.
Why nickel and dime everyone that is probably never going to even see the fountain instead of letting the people that want/need pay for it?
Cold filtered water at just a single park you regularly go to is probably worth 3 bucks a month.
If extra money went to park improvements, that would be even better.
I don’t see why everyone wants “free” when it’s just a hidden cost that you’re probably paying anyways. Yes, probably costs more for the people that use the service more, but that’s the way it should be.
Personally I’d rather save 20 dollars on my taxes and bring water to the park. Even still tap water is just fine.
Why would I even want to pay 5 dollars more in taxes so someone doesn’t have to bring a water bottle?
This is a premium service that shouldn’t be the burden of the taxpayer.
What a crazy take
