Copenhagen street tax

My last day in Copenhagen ended with a canal tour of Copenhagen. It
was suggested by my friend Katrine who I met several years ago
skiing. She now lives in Copenhagen and joined me on the tour. While
on the tour, Katrine and the boat guide both provided city histories.
I prefered Katrines rendition but we both learned something new from
the boat guide. In old Copenhagen, the buildings are very narrow
because they were taxed by the length if city street they occupied.
It doesn't matter when or where, people always try to avoid being
taxed it seems.

Thanks Katrine for the tour and worlds best hot dog.
