As an American who moved to Prague, I'd say that those taxes pay for themselves in terms of quality of life and social insurance. Having so many beautiful parks and so much culture right in the city so few minutes away by tram is worth way more than owning a big house. I think of it like this: I can either live in America and have a big living room, or I can live in Europe and have an entire city as my living room. You'd have to go to Berlin to see what I mean.
