"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.

.Agree.
Glenn Beck explained the unintended drop in revenue from the Mamdani system which was tried years ago. I couldn’t understand the complexity but the result was the city became the slumlord when good, well kept up rentals were impossible to keep by investors. Thousands of vacancies led to the city going broke, not getting richer.
On the same show Beck said the 33% of Jewish people who voted for Mamdani are now having second thoughts but deserve no sympathy. 33% of voting age in the 9 million Jewish New Yorkers. He likened it to the Jewish ambivalence and ignoring of Hitler’s rise and the reluctance to leave until they were not allowed to leave.
GAVIN DID NOT START THAT PRACTICE. IT WAS IN EFFECT IN THE 1980-s & IT WAS AIMED AT PEOPLE WHO EARNED A PENSION UNDER CALPERS & MOVED OUT OF STATE.
IT AS FINALLY CHALLENGED & CALIF LOST-—
TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION-—THE WERE NOT VOTING IN CALIF
FOR MANY-—THAT WAS THEIR FIRST HOME.
THEN THEY RETIRED & GOT A 2ND HOME IN FLA OR SIMILAR AND MOVED THERE.
Mamdani is a Twelver.
People don’t see the wolf’s teeth, apparently.
NYC voters knew who this commie was before they voted for him. This is yet another example of Stuck on Stupid.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch of folks.
They thought they could buy their way out of the coming gulags.
Why stop at just a kidney? Throw-in a lung and an eye, too.
