The mayor of New York City faced two major roadblocks for his far-left plan to hit certain rentals in the city with a pied-à-terre tax. The tax scheme from Mayor Zohran Mamdani was temporarily blocked by a Staten Island judge on Monday who sided with a group of homeowners suing against the tax. The tax would impose a penalty for non-primary residences rented out in the city and worth more than $5 million. The president went on to say he would seek to oppose the tax himself in order to save the city from certain ruin. The Mamdani administration said i would file an appeal in order to allow the tax to continue.
