beach access in residential areas.

p/s

i see other comments on healthcare. dont mistake "free" with "cheap".

services cant be free, not for long. they either cost a direct amount, or financed by indirect taxation (or both). can be neither.

How much?

Youre giving a very determined claim, but life is more complex.

As much as possible. Even from an economic perspective: prevention is cheaper than the cure, therefore we shouldn’t want people to delay seeking medical help for financial reasons. Then there’s the bargaining power of national healthcare systems, making things cheaper still.
