1. I work here, and it's a Marxist sh!t-hole.
2. Ordinance that prohibits smoking in all bars and restuarants -- I don't even smoke, and this law bothers the hell out of me.
3. 8.625% (at least) sales tax.
4. 18% parking tax.
5. Tax on this, tax on that, tax on just about everything you can think of. Someone mentioned a $300/night hotel room rate -- I'll bet at least a third of that bill is for sh!t that has nothing to do with the hotel itself.
