Or we can have government-run bowling alleys, movie theaters, nightclubs, restaurants, grocery stores, car companies...
But the complaint is that the pain isn't being shared fairly, not that water parks are a birthright. Wayne County operates only one park in the city of Detroit out of 11 Wayne County parks across the county. Yet, Detroit accounts for roughly 40% of Wayne County's population.
