"If you have a second home in New York City worth more than $5 million, check your mailbox when you’re back in the five boroughs — because you've got mail," Mamdani posted on X, touting the tax on specific second properties introduced by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul that he supported going into effect soon.
"Today, we sent notification letters to property owners, letting them know that our new pied-à-terre tax is coming soon," Mamdani continued. "The best city in the world deserves the best parks, libraries, and schools in the world. That's only possible when we all pay our fair share. "
As of Friday morning, Mamdani’s post had been viewed over 10 million times and conservatives on social media blasted the mayor and warned that the exodus of wealthy New Yorkers will only continue under this new plan.

It is never told who decides on “ability” and “need.”
Il Duce had to fail, and fail spectacularly, before his countrymen finally had enough of him.
Mamdani is still in a happy, happy phase. He has not yet run out of other people’s money, as Margaret Thatcher would say.
And hell, perhaps he never will. There’s always a possibility of a state of federal bailout. Depends on who’s controlling those spigots at the time.
Anybody that spent $5 million on a second home in NYC should walk down the Yellow Brick Road with Dorothy and the Scarecrow.
New simplified NY tax form, how much did you make, send it in.
For the life of me, I can’t imagine why anyone would want to own a second home in a dump like NYC.
What is not discussed in this thread (yet) is that any real estate developer of any size has real estate worth a lot more than just two five million dollar homes.
It sounds like Mamdummy is only going to punish people who purchase two homes to live in...investment is fine.
What kind of anti capitalist is this? This is Karl Marx on LSD.
“exodus of wealthy New Yorkers will only continue under this new plan”
The $5 million+ second homes could only be sold to wealthy people (or rented to UN diplomats).
This 34 year old, man boy, foreign born citizen for 7 years, commie baby knows it all. Hahahaha.
Allahu Snack bar was heard again in NYC as 2 Jews stabbed. Motive remains a mystery.
Didn’t Clinton talk about fair share?
Trump and 'da Jooos.
Sorry, one Asian, one Jew stabbed with a screwdriver. Equal opportunity stabber.
No, they did NOT vote for this! It was the large amount of 3rd worlders Biden brought in who leaned the votes, every poll showed long term native new yorkers opposed Mamdani
From each, according to his bank account. To each, according to his votes......................
I will never ever be convinced that New Yorkers ACTUALLY voted this scumbag into power. EVER. The DemonRat election fraud machine is STILL stealing elections, although a bit tougher than it was when Beijing Biden was pResident.
“Worse yet it the Republican opposition to commies like Mamdummy will just piss and moan but do nothing to stop this traitorous scumbag”
Congress could tax the payments and tell the owners to pick up their matching payment in Florida.
You didn’t have to spend $5 million. If it’s now worth $5 million His Whonor is coming for you.
Of course, if your "ability" happens to be theft...
“I will never ever be convinced that New Yorkers ACTUALLY voted this scumbag into power.”
DeSilva was a Republican.
Cuomo creeped out lots of women.
There is the Rangel method, one dwelling for the male and one dwelling for the female, with connecting door.
