Who is making sure the 'right people' use parks and public schools?

Fire departments serve everyone when there is an emergency.

We don't allow the whole community to attend social studies class, we don't allow people to farm in the park., and the fire department doesn't save people when there isn't an emergency. Your libertine conception of UBI has no parallel in any public service. There's always terms and conditions and stipulations and regulations and oversight and overhead.
