guess if we taxed stoops/balconies in the 9th ward, east and algiers, we'd be broke.
1)Because there's no money
2)Because they'll never pay
FIFY.
Some demographics are easier to steal from than others.

Why stop at air rights that extend horizontally? Why not set a vertical limit to property and tax anything that extends over it?
Don't give them ideas. Fast forward 2 months.
quote:
"The New Orleans City Council has adopted a stance that a person is only entitled to 6 feet of vertical space. This will extend not only to all businesses and vehicles, but also to individuals. If you're over 6 feet tall, you'll be paying a monthly tax to rent the space over you above 6 feet high.
When asked why they would adopt some a measure, the City Council said, "We have statute removal costs and new benches and planters to install and they won't pay for themselves."

The NOLA.com article says the fees would increase 10% each year. I would hope that's a typo and should say each 5 years like the article from the OP. If not, those prices would be insane after a few years
