Same. I’d rather pay $300/month for municipal if it supports efforts to also make it available to my other neighbors, makes the program more successful (and thus more likely to continue) and I’d set up my own equipment volunteer to help them install.

Actually, I’m going right now to see if there are any municipal broadband efforts in my area that I could throw money at / help out with. Is there some good place to find out more about efforts in _____ area? Sadly, like many in the Bay Area, I live in an apartment with a Comcast community manager, so we’d likely be the very last to get off of Comcast unless some great wireless tech becomes viable (and even then, we’re not allowed to have any external antennas mounted outside of our units).
