Is there a reason why you place strawmen interpretations when trying to actualize meaningful progress?

Mamdani's actions in the first few months of his mayorship have been one of the few bright spots of meaningful progress we have seen in the past decade.

In his city, he can make it both illegal to do so, and use that liquidity for state projects.

Better to try where it actually penalizes the rich, than people with actual needs of secondary homes.

This is rich. Somehow Mamdani is not going hard enough against the money and also he is picking on the poor and downtrodden who own Million dollar flats that they don't even live in.

    The Pied-à-Terre Tax and Its Potential Revenues - Office of the New York City Comptroller Mark Levine https://share.google/4ybZGPdS9SjIVlVdd

    The pied a terre tax is on properties valued at 5 million or more. That doesn't sound like working class families to me? How about you?

    1. Why a Google redirect?
    2. You're aware this is a proposal that never took effect. If you did read it, acquiring $510 million in taxes doesn't even tackle the billionaires…

    _Why a Google redirect?__

    I don't know what that is

    The proposal is what this is. The governor has expressed support. It's in progress.

    The Google redirect is how you shared the link, it makes a new shorter URL that takes you to the actual website. I assume you pressed 'share' or something instead of directly copying the URL, which is this:

    https://comptroller.nyc.gov/reports/the-pied-a-terre-tax-and-its-potential-revenues/

    In general it is best practice to copy the URL directly, as it is compatible with all browsers (the one you posted does nothing on Firefox) and prevents tracking and such.

    Agree with you on the argument n stuff just doing my part to educate about the Internet, hope that made sense :)
