They might as well increase the tax rate to 100%, and then the homeless rate will become 100%, and it will be a communist nirvana

Let's see, we have our sidewalk tax, but no sidewalk in front of our building.

A stormwater tax to pay for the rain that falls on the ground.

A Denver Privilege tax for all employees.

And now, an affordable housing tax.  

Don't forget the stealth tax of high insurance due to high crime, the cost to remove graffiti from our building, and the cost to replace catalytic converters that get stolen from delivery trucks parked at our office overnight.

Boulder is a bit further along that curve.  There are currently around 2000 people on the waiting list for affordable housing.
