I can't read the article because of the paywall.

Since most cities don't charge any tax other than property tax or sales tax - which would apply the same rate equally to all incomes - what is responsible for the difference?

It looks like they are estimating local taxes (sales, property, etc) and adding it to to your federal and state.

No surprise. Blue areas have higher taxes, better education, more productive workforces, etc.

I live just outside the Portland city limit. Honestly, I ignore a good bit of news about my neighbor to the north but I am generally aware that the city has in fact enacted several income taxes. For example, as an employee of a Portland based company I pay one or more special income taxes. I know there is one for arts education in the city, as well as another for roads, and maybe another for homelessness / affordable housing. Those taxes are based on income level. I received a special notice last year (?) that I qualified to pay one of them because "I am rich" (my words). I think I was already paying the arts tax. I may be off on particular details but the underlying sentiment is correct.

Makes sense. I am not aware of anything similar for Los Angeles except for a mansion tax on houses worth over $5M.

According to the latest US Census data, #Portland, Ore. is among one of the cities suffering the most population losses following nonstop #Antifa rioting & strict Covid restrictions on life in 2020. The city & county have very high taxes as well. https://t.co/k7MOaHOktN

After 15 straight years of growth, Portland's population began declining in 2020.
