Most everywhere does that, and it's state law, not city.
Really? That's interesting. I swear ESPN or someone did a story on Philly specifically.
What an impossible nightmare it would be to tax every person who travels to a city to do work. How do you have know they're there?
You know, until the government chips us all.

Unchecked capitalism might be better than what NYC has with 2.5 years to get any building approved.
Unchecked bureaucracy isn't good either.

Yeah, learned about it when my wife was getting her CPA.
After the confetti settled on Jordan’s NBA championship debut and the Bulls’ famous dethroning of the LA Lakers, the State of California informed Jordan that he would owe state taxes for the days he spent in Los Angeles. In direct response to the California policy, the State of Illinois announced that it would levy a jock tax on athletes from any state that imposed the tax on their athletes. Today, almost every state and many large municipalities (including Kansas City, Pittsburg and Detroit) that host professional sports teams has enacted a jock tax policy

Well, for athletes, it's easy. But for the rest of us, yeah, much harder.

Also easy for burglars to know when they're not home.
Although, I think that ring has been arrested?
