Probably makes more sense to just change the law to tax them on a prorated basis based on residency, with maybe a 2-month minimum required for tax purposes. Again, they want to be here for cultural and economic reasons. The advantage is in the city's favor and the rates seem reasonable given that. A short-term tax break could help lure some of these people back faster though.

That would likely get struck down as unconstitutional. It would raise a host of issues: due process, privileges & immunities, equal protection, commerce clause.
