if houseboats are serviced by municipal garbage collection or sewers shouldn't they have to pay for it?
> houseboats cost as much as normal houses or even more
I don't live in Amsterdam, but if a couple taxes raised the cost of houseboats to be the same as houses, then your story sounds like some freeloaders were forced to pay for services that they previously got huge subsidies for.
- slikrick 3y agothat's a large assumption, instead of assuming that the boats were already paying taxes as they already existed in the waters before, and the government saw an opportunity to get more tax money from people who couldn't argue otherwise.
