I’d argue that if you think owning a car and occasionally having an extra $20 in gas money to make a trip up to a park means you’re not poor, then your opinion is out of touch with reality. Some families struggle living in small apartments and own a cheap car because one of both parents need it to get to work. They still live paycheque to paycheque and they may occasionally be able to afford that extra bit of gas to do something nice as a family, they don’t need more road blocks.
You can argue making it means tested all day, but before that we should first look at whether or not the additional fees have even improved the parks to begin with. From what I’m hearing, they haven’t.
