"Get out and stay out! But please leave your money behind, eh?"

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration has published a searchable database of Big Apple properties that could fall under the state’s new pied-à-terre tax, effectively doxxing thousands of wealthy New Yorkers.
The city’s Department of Finance uploaded the comprehensive list – which purports to cover all unoccupied, non-primary residences in the five boroughs worth north of $1 million – including the full names and addresses of every property owner.
“It’s a reckless and foolish move, especially considering there are potentially thousands of properties on this list that do not qualify as second homes or whose owners will successfully dispute their inclusion,” Council Minority Leader David Carr (R-Staten Island) — whose own home appears on the list — told The Post Monday.
Property ownership records are public information, of course, but compiling a special list of wealthy owners in an easily-searchable format is essentially inviting the new assassination culture types populating Mmadani’s DSA party to act; dangerous stuff.
If you have a second home in New York City worth more than $5M, check your mailbox when you’re back in the five boroughs — because you've got mail.

Today, we sent notification letters to property owners, letting them know that our new pied-à-terre tax is coming soon.
The best…
This communist mayor’s message to wealthy New Yorkers couldn’t be clearer: “we don’t want you”, and the results are already being seen. When Mamdani videoed himself standing in front of Citadel’s Ken Griffin’s clearly-identifiable penthouse last January gloating over the new tax, Griffin, who’d already fled to Florida because of previous tax-the-rich programs of the last two mayors, cancelled his planned multi-billion expansion of NYC headquarters and shifted that growth to Florida instead.
His won’t be the only example of this accelerating exodus.
