I think you are mixing 2 different concepts: 1. type of taxes 2. public services While public services you listed are not immoral, the way how the taxes collected to pay for these services can be immoral.

> how do you propose to pay for them?

You need to answer this question.

The cost of these services hasn’t increased by $2k/year to serve my home just because home prices have increased.
You yourself alluded to people moving in, so I don't see why the cost of those services (and many more) isn't justified.

>because a bunch of very wealthy out-of-state home owners have decided they want to live here

There it is.
