Reply to comment by weaselpoopcoffee1 in Can someone explain the justification for having "private" beaches? It seems like access to natural attractions should be free. by SnooBooks4898

The cleaning point makes sense; however your other one does not

I don't have children, nor do I own a car yet I have my taxes pay for schools and roads. The reason you pay for them is it's beneficial to our state just like a beach is as it brings tourism from out of staters and a place for others to recover me tally by enjoying nature

You buy goods and services and you get mail so yeah you indirectly use the roads. BTW most road maintenance is paid via gasoline taxes. Having good schools assures you can get a good buck if you sell your house so you get some of that back. In addition property taxes are deductible so again you get some of that back. Not saying it's perfect but I understand it.
