Doorstep taxes: extra charges levied by local governments on deliveries made to your doorstep (e.g., Amazon, DoorDash)
Neighborhood Fees: extra charges collected by port authorities when you are merely "visiting a neighborhood." The article focuses on extra charges at airport concessions, but I would also lump in tourist taxes (like those charges to hotel rooms by state governments).
Private businesses do their fair share of adding miscellaneous surcharges, but this article focuses on taxes/surcharges collected by local governments.
