The Raleigh City Council has just voted to levy a sizable per-garage-space tax on single family homes, arguing that garages, and especially multi- car garages, are an excellent indicator of the earnings of the residents. Why would the City want to impose such a tax? What are some potential problems with this tax? What changes in single- family homes might you predict if the new tax is implemented? And what changes in the amount of home building might you expect relative to Chapel Hill or Durham?
