Increasing density is not going to increase the tax rate. Denser housing is more efficient and results in lower taxes per person.

In the long run, perhaps. In the short term, any burden the pose on the community has to be absorbed by the community. The new arrivals wouldn't have even started paying property tax yet. And even when they do, any costs associated with them will take years to collect via property tax.
