@abc7ny: Mayor Mamdani's plan to tax the rich has hit a speed bump. It's called the 'pied-a-terre tax.' A surcharge on luxury second homes. It's supposed to raise 500 million dollars for the city budget, but there are indications now it won't raise nearly that much. NJ Burkett reports.
so those billionaires that just contested that NY was their primary residence are now going to be audited and they're going to make sure that they paid their income taxes correctly for being a resident of New York.

The headline should be “millionaires are claiming other states as their primary residence while living in NYC as a way to escape income tax” but instead they blame the mayor

Thats because the rich are committing tax fraud. They now have to be honest about where they're living and they'll be subject to taxes they've been avoiding for decades. Speed bump not a stop

So the "speed bump" that it turns out the rich are flocking to New York instead of the promised exodus? Which isn't really a speed bump because they would pay regular taxes on it instead? Y'all are desperate for a "win"

You completely skipped the part where he uncovered tax fraud. Fine, those other 6,000 residents won't pay this new tax. But they will pay New York state income tax which is likely higher.

So it’s not hitting a road bump, it’s just a different amount of money received? And the goal is to make sure those people are actual New Yorkers, and so if they prove it then everybody is fine with it, what’s your point exactly? Unless you just wanted to scare us with your close up shot?
