Brad Lander: A luxury tax on second homes worth $5 million+ owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents

to help pay for universal child care & essential public services – makes enormous sense.

Congratulations to @ZohranKMamdani for championing a people’s movement to tax the wealthy. And thank you
@KathyHochul for hearing the voices of so many New Yorkers.

I’ve been advocating for a pied-a-terre tax for over a decade. Let’s keep electing champions for the change we need.
