> Why should my tax dollars pay for your special interest group to have free meetups? Why should your tax dollars pay education, healthcare, police, road repairs, etc? Because the society will be better off and you live in a society. The education of a child your taxes pay for will pay off exponentially when this kid becomes a professional. The meeting space your taxes pay could facilitate the creation of the next revolutionary software tech. Taxes should be considered an investment that pays off not financially but by improving your life overall. > How would we distribute access to this newly created resource equitably? A bookable calendar and a maximum amount of monthly bookable slots per organization. Nothing revolutionary really.
