    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.

          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.
