The Issue: Gov. Hochul and Mayor Mamdani’s proposed tax on high-value second houses in NYC.
Naturally, I’m inclined to need decrease taxes fairly than greater ones, and I consider the town and state could be higher off slicing waste than introducing new burdens on us all (“Hochul: No new taxes! Really, I swear,” April 22).
However, if taxes do need to be elevated, I reluctantly say that the proposed pied-à-terre tax appears fairer than most.
You need to be rich to keep a $5 million home largely unoccupied and, by not being resident within the metropolis, you aren’t contributing to all of the great issues concerning the place that keep your empty home so invaluable, each virtually and financially.
If the new tax incentivizes a few of these “leavers” to return, then that’s no unhealthy factor, both.

Which Gov. Hochul is making sense?
The one who lately begged rich people to come back back to New York or the one who needs to impose even more taxes on them?
She can’t have it each methods.
She’s a typical “anything for votes” politician who’s caving to Mayor Mamdani, who has promised New Yorkers too many freebies with no different solution to pay for them however to impose more taxes.
New York will finally run out of different people’s money similar to any socialist society.
What then?
