Cause they pay rent which the property owner uses to pay property taxes. Tax goes up rent goes up. Do you mean why should homeless people be allowed to vote? They probably can't unless they have id with an address.
I can't find the link but I read a study about unemployment rates before and after the Vancouver olympics. The unemployment rate was basically unchanged. People simply switched employers. Similarly with tourism. There was a bit of a bump in 2010 but was essentially unchanged after. Calgary had a greater increase in tourism in 2010.
