The Mayor Zohran Mamdani tax on “luxury” homes has been put on pause by a judge in Staten Island, New York. “Mamdani forced to pause pied-à-terre tax roll-out — and pull down ‘shame the rich’ list in win for NYC homeowners”:The reign of pied-à-terror is on pause. Big Apple homeowners fighting the controversial pied-à-terre tax notched an early victory Monday, when a judge stunningly blocked Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s tortured rollout of the new levy.
