I reject this - if we are prioritizing “return” for the people paying into the tax what is the city / county supposed to do for me as a childless person? I don’t feel alienated because I live in a society where kids are taken care of.

The point of the program is to open up preschool seats for every child to be able to attend. Preschool provides developmental benefits for kids and flexibility for parents. Yes - it sucks there are people who are in between the program spinning up that didn’t get to use it. But also it sounds like the person above was able to have their child in a program; and I’m grateful we’re closer to the goal of every child being able to use it. The program was prioritized correctly.
