Thus Ulfric saw no reason (assuming that he isn't racist, or at least not to the Dark Elves) to renovate the gray quarter: because the Dark Elves don't pay taxes. It's an endless loop, you see. Now the solution that Ulfric could come up with, would be to renovate the Gray Quarter, so long as the Dark Elves began paying taxes, or at the very least had them pay for the rennovation. The Dunmer tax/law exemption only applies to the island of Solstheim, not all Dunmer living in Skyrim. Really? Where does it say only Solstheim? The dunmer in Windhelm are self-goverened, they just don't have councilors because there's already a government in place. No councilor from morrowind would ever tolerate having to share power with a person they consider an animal. Daedra worship would've started riots, so no can do on the temples.

Viola? Right...so you're saying that a busybody that clearly knows nothing concrete about anything is proof that they pay taxes? Given her track record that's significant evidence that they don't have any taxes and Viola was being her usual ignorant, mouth-running self.

Living in Riften just fine? The dunmer population in Riften is a lot less dense than that of Windhelm's. There simply isn't enough population density for racial tensions to erupt.
