You could work elsewhere if you dont like the idea of a commuter tax. I used to be against the commuter tax, til now.
Exactly. And this woman could find another place to live, as could her $2,500/month tenants or whomever else ends up living there.
Or, she could just leave the occupancy regulations on the building the way they were before, and pay $4,100/year in taxes but forego $120,000 per year in rental income.
I'm not asking for any sympathy here -- I'm just explaining why I have none.
