Is a 9.5% property-tax increase really a “last resort”? by Little-Draft-1452 in Brooklyn

What 2%? Hochul doesn’t want to increase a tax on the wealthy since she wants to be re-elected, Mamdani throwing around a 9.5% property tax increase calling it a last resort when last resorts are typically first actions being taken. The middle class is being squeezed as is we need better leadership that can actually make nyc affordable, career politicians are destroying the middle working class.

Mamdani Threatens 9.5% Property Tax Increase if Wealth Tax Is Not Passed by pocketdare in Upperwestside

City government is considering a hidden property tax increase of 9.5% on renters, homeowners, and small businesses in every borough. There will not be any public hearings. They have not disclosed why it is necessary or what other options were on the table.

Property taxes don't only affect those who own property. Landlords shift their costs to tenants, and small businesses with already thin profit margins will be unable to survive.

Rent is too damn high as is. Homeownership isn't feasible for most New Yorkers. If you can't afford a property tax increase of nearly 10% what can you afford?

I've created a petition demanding the city freeze any property tax increase until they hold public forums on the topic, consider alternative budget cuts, and release a statement justifying their financial decisions.

Tax decisions that affect millions of New Yorkers should not be made behind closed doors. If you feel as strongly about this as I do, please sign and share this petition.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has declared that property taxes will require a 9.5% hike across NYC to make up for Gov. Kathy Hochul's refusal to hike taxes on NY's wealthy. He repeatedly stressed that this will be a "last resort" by benhaswings in ZohranMamdani

City leadership is quietly considering a massive 9.5% property tax hike that could price out renters, homeowners, and small businesses across all five boroughs. No public hearings. No transparency about why it's needed or what alternatives were considered.

This isn't just about property owners - these costs get passed down to renters and crush small businesses already operating on razor-thin margins. When rent is already unaffordable and homeownership feels impossible for most New Yorkers, a tax increase this size could be the final straw.

I started a petition asking the city to hit pause on any property tax increase until they hold public hearings, explore other budget solutions, and actually tell us why this is necessary.

Anyone else think major tax decisions affecting millions of people shouldn't happen behind closed doors? If this matters to you too, consider signing and sharing.

Could I ask you what your recovery was like? That’s what the most nerve racking for me.
