It would be cool if voters were willing to pay for public spaces, real public spaces, rather than waiting on the charity of companies through moral expectation, charity which could be retracted at any time, or diverted for any whim.

Taxpayers dont want additional burdens. Parks are already free and accessible. These treehouses are nothing more than a hollow gesture considering Amazon's toxic middle-managers and poor processes like performance reviews based on the cult-like "leadership principles."

(Note: I worked at Amazon as a front end / full stack dev around the SLU Seattle campus recently and left _voluntarily_ due to the environment.)

Parks are not free - they're supported by taxpayers.
