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?

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

Also easy for burglars to know when they're not home.

Another person gets dragged down by the email release. Doesn't sound like pedo stuff, but rather, association.

Yes. You don't live somewhere where they are trying to cram them. Michigan government decided to give tax breaks to tech companies, so they are trying to cram them everywhere here.
There is a TON of evidence showing how bad they are for communities. But we don't care because other people are getting rich? The people installing them are profiting off the misery of others and ya, we shouldn't support that.
