Developer: "Hey, I want to build some ugly, cookie-cutter, cheap-looking, suburban-style, low-density apartments in Boise."

Boise City: "Taxes?"

Developer: "The property has stunning, unimpeded views of the valley that people pay millions of dollars for."

Boise City: "Taxes!"

Developer: "But I just want to build crappy apartments on it."

Boise City: "Taxes!"

Developer: "I'd build something truly attractive there to take advantage of the amazing views, but I'm not willing to invest in something so nice."

Boise City: "Taxes!"

Developer: "Thus, I'll build the cheap crappy colorless tasteless apartments there instead."

Boise City: "Taxes!!!!"

Developer: "Okay?"

Boise City: "TAAAXXESSS!!!!"
