This doesn’t make sense to me. The marginal increase in infrastructure costs for each new person is less than the tax revenue they generate.

If anything we should tax low density, since more infrastructure is needed per person.

Exactly! The urban core takes in way more taxes per person than it costs for infrastructure, suburbia is the exact opposite. Urbanites are subsidizing the suburbs currently.
