That's a straight up lie.

Please show me where any plan like that is published. And specifically which neighborhoods that every white person will pay more taxes. The actuarials say I should live another 25 years or so. I'll wait.

Or are you referring to the proposed 2% increase in income taxes for folks making over USD$1,000,000/annum, which has exactly zero to do with location (other than NYC as a whole)?

Such an increase, while suggested by Mamdani, is not within the purview of the mayor of NYC to implement. Rather, any tax increase must be passed by the state legislature and signed into law by the governor. The most NYC's mayor can do is ask the state.

Are you that uninformed? Do you even live in NY State?

If it was just about wealth, why bring race into it?

What you linked says:

   The property tax system is unbalanced because assessment levels are 
   artificially capped, so homeowners in  expensive neighborhoods pay less than 
   their fair share.

Why is raising caps on property taxes in richer neighborhoods, regardless of ethnicity a bad thing? Why should a home worth $500,000 be taxed almost the same as a home worth $2,500,000?

As for "richer and whiter" neighborhoods, the median income for "white" folks is ~$108,000 and everyone else is 35-51% less[0]. As such, given the income breakdowns, "whiter" neighborhoods are richer neighborhoods.

Or are you arguing that more expensive properties should have a lower tax rate because more "white" people live there?

What's more you (and the NY Post, that racist rag) take a single word and completely ignore the actual intent of the proposal, which like pretty much every other tax, isn't set by the mayor, but by the state legislature and the governor.

Thanks for repeating white supremacist talking points. If I need more, I know where to find them.

You realize none of that actually answers my question, right? Why bring race into it at all if it's just about wealth?

[nobody9999]

Are you making the claim that only "white" people live in the neighborhoods under discussion?

Or are you making that claim that those neighborhoods should only have "white" people?

As much as I've given you the benefit of the doubt, it's pretty clear you're not posting in good faith in any of the multiple interactions we've had in this specific discussion. I'm done.

Nothing of the sort. Are you even reading my comments?

If it's just about wealth, then why did what I linked to bring up race at all? Why isn't it just "richer neighborhoods"?
