Zohran Mamdani Proposes Taxing 'Whiter Neighborhoods' in NYC

New York City's Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has said he wants to "shift the tax burden" to "richer and whiter neighborhoods" if he secures election in November.

A housing policy document on Mamdani's official website includes a pledge to "shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods."

Newsweek contacted the Mamdani campaign for comment via email on Friday outside of regular office hours.

What To Know
Mamdani's official campaign website features a policy memo under the title "Supporting homeowners and ending deed theft."

The document says that if elected his administration will "Shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods."

It adds: "The property tax system is unbalanced because assessment levels are artificially capped, so homeowners in expensive neighborhoods pay less than their fair share. The Mayor can fix this by pushing class assessment percentages down for everyone and adjusting rates up, effectively lowering tax payments for homeowners in neighborhoods like Jamaica and Brownsville while raising the amount paid in the most expensive Brooklyn brownstones."

This isn't discrimination, it's the opposite. It's making it so they pay their fair share. But I guess it's easier to just go off headlines and clickbait instead of actually reading the policy and the reasons behind it.

How about we just kick out the communists and the muslims?

>>1416456

>>1416455
Do they not? Is their property tax less? Their homes are worth more so it follows that they pay more tax than poor people.

It sounds like you are regurgitating unfounded talking points

>>1416463
Actually read the proposition and you'll find the current situation is in violation of title VII. Poor minority neighborhoods being charged higher taxes than rich ones and being denied liens to keep them financially segregated.

>>1416468
>read the proposition
Sure.
Could you link it?

>>1416470
>>1416468
NVM I found it. The relevant line seems to be:
"The city’s wealthiest pockets pay just a fraction of their just tax bill because assessed
values are artificially capped to stay low while actual market values soar".
There isn't anything specific in there, it's mostly high level talking points.

Do you happen to know what is being referred to? Is it like what California does where assessed values on property have a max yearly increase of 1% to supposedly protect elderly?
I'm not actually clear on what he's referencing here when he says it's capped

Ok found my answer again: https://archive.is/hFSw1
Yeah this is fucked up and should be stopped, it's just rather offensive when someone blames it on white people when it's a wealth thing, not a skin color thing

>>1416467
>It's another wrong to start treating you the way you treat others
Very exposing of you anon. Guess that "when you're privileged equality feels like discrimination" saying is true.

>>1416473
The problem is you can't just throw race out of the equation when it was a major factor in how things got this bad. When NYC was being rebuilt and redesigned minority neighborhoods were literally plowed through for highways while the white neighborhoods were left alone to reap the benefits. Places like public pools and playgrounds were intentionally placed in more out of the way locations in minority districts, and underfunded as well compared to their white counterpart.

You can't separate cause from effect. Acting like segregation's effects ended when it did is ignorant; the ripples from these policies affects neighborhoods even now, and they will continue to do so until they're addressed.

>>1416473
>it's just rather offensive when someone blames it on white people
I agree, faggot OP framing this as a race issue instead of a wealth disparity issue is offensive.
Won't stop retarded shills from being retarded shills though

>>1416473
>A condo in Brooklyn's fashionable Williamsburg neighborhood sells for $2.15 million. Along with Sub-Zero appliances, 13-foot ceilings and a rooftop sun deck, it comes with a lucrative perk: an annual property tax bill of just $157.
>Fifteen miles away, in the Bronx’s Throggs Neck neighborhood, a condo in a white building dotted with window-unit air conditioners goes for $234,840. Its annual property tax bill: $3,917.

I believe it was Mamdani who framed this as a race issue. He should be ashamed and no wonder Democrats love him

Oh god no! Not soshalism! *clutches pearls*

>>1416477
Fixing that would be racist, though. Better stop.

>>1416505
Do you unironically not care about taxes being informed by race?

>>1416508
Honestly no, not even a little bit. I care more about what the tax money is spent on rather than where it comes from.

>>1416467
They actually pay more.

Asking that everyone pay their fair share of taxes is not targetting white to pay more taxes. Fuck, most white people in NYC aren't rich so this tax in question won't even apply to white people and it will still apply to rich black people.

You are a complete moron.

>>1416508
It's not, it's informed by wealth.

That most rich people happen to be white is just an objective observation, and it won't target most white people in NYC, seeing most white people in NYC aren't rich.

>>1416507
Fixing tax on neighborhoods like this is just as racist as increased police presence in high crime areas
I support both

>Louisiana's Republican politicall candidate Chud Chudbeck has said he wants to "send more police" to "crime-ridden and blacker neighborhoods" if he secures election in November.

You didn't read the OP.
>The document says that if elected his administration will "Shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods."

>>1416516
>Fixing tax on neighborhoods
After rereading this, I realize I was unclear. By "fixing tax" I mean removing this retarded loophole and making the tax rate flat for everyone according to property value or some other similar metric

>>1416509
Ok.
Just wanted to make sure that this is what you wanted.

>>1416518
>You didn't read the OP.
I did
>"Shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer
You didn't. That richer neighborhood happen to be white doesn't change that it's based on wealth.

Seeing how most white people in NYC aren't rich it won't affect most of them and it will still affect rich black people.

>>1416520
Personally, the only thing I would change about the way taxes are collected is that rich people should be supporting poor people a lot more than they do now. Other than that it should be up to each state and municipality to decide.

>>1416473
>it's just rather offensive when someone blames it on white people
It wasn't.

I suspect Judaism is afoot. That is literally the most Jewish sounding thing I've read about since I found out that Jewish people have light switches with random number generators in them so that they can turn on and off the lights during the Sabbath so that they can maintain plausible deniability if their God ever asks them if they performed work on the holy day

>>1416522
Mamdani said that he was concerned with the people who aren't paying their fair share.
If we divided the nation up into tax brackets according to which races enjoy the most state welfare, this wouldn't play out how he thinks.

>>1416523
Ok sure, they just want it to be white neighborhoods paying I guess

>>1416521
>That richer neighborhood happen to be white
He's specifically going after whites, that's why he added the qualifier. And the most expensive real-estate in NYC isn't owned by whites, it's owned by the arabs, chinese and jews, so this very obviously isn't about wealth inequality.

>>1416524

>>1416527
>He's specifically going after whites
Nope only rich neighborhood who happens to be white. The few black who live there will be paying it too.

stop being a moron and please point to me in the bill where it said it specifically target whites.

>>1416528
>Why divide people by such an arbitrary thing like race in the first place?

He doesn't. Pointing out that racial inequality exist isn't source of division it's pointing out already existing ones.

Pay your fair share instead of forcing poor minorities to do it for you, fuckwit. A 2 million house owned by a rich white guy shouldn't be paying a 1/10th of the tax that a house owned by a poor black family does.

"Discrimination is a harmful practice of differentiating or mistreating someone based on their personal characteristics."
Or "Discrimination is an act or practice that involves treating people differently"

..... turns out stealing even more of what some people make based on, oh I don't know, things like RACE & MERIT, is very much discrimination. There is no way you can spin it that it isn't blatant discrimination.

>>1416559
Director's law, but also the taxation breakdown.

Breaking down the citizenry into 5 quintiles (5 x 20 = 100%), the lowest 4 quintiles DO NOT PAY NET TAXES. Only the top quintile pays net taxes, and a non-trivial part of that is the welfare state.

I get that you fefs want to spew your propaganda as if it made sense, but the slightest scrutiny reveals it to be bunk. The other guy's point stands.

>>1416637
Are you fucking arguing that it's illegal to increase taxes on people for being rich?

Also, it's not discrimination if their current position is based on discrimination against minority communities you fucking retard. This is equality because it takes away the unfair advantage.

WRONG, he actually said "whitER" meaning there are more white people living in it than in less rich neighborhood, not that he will be taxing white only.

Learn to read, moron. Anyone with basic literacy uderstood he was pointing out the inequality of how less white neighborhood are paying more taxes and to end this racial equality.

Yet you take the worse bad faith stance and pretend it specifically targeting white when it isn't and you know it.

>>1416552
WRONG!

He said whitER rich neighborhood, meaning he will also be taxing non-white who also happen to live there.

You are the one trying to make up racist accusation when there are none.

People who pay property taxes usually don't qualify for welfare.

And yet we have case of people ACTUALLY paying taxes and even more than people who own more valuable house, so your point there doesn't apply.

This was bad faith to pretend that people who pay more taxes don't pay taxes and you know it.

>>1416645
That is what's actually happening though

To be fair, the far left and far right in the US are just as racist as each other.

>>1416692
>To be fair, the far left and far right in the US are just as racist as each other.
Being a social democrat is not being far-left.

>>1416693
There's probably half a dozen political ideologies where some number of their adherents could be classified as far left or far right.
There's far right libertarians, far right authoritarians, far left authoritarians, far left communists, far left social Democrats, far right national socialists, even some far right monarchists.

I strongly believe it's not the blanket political ideology itself that makes someone far right or far left, it's how extreme they are in their desired implementation of such ideologies.

Worded another way, there are very moderate believers of pretty much any political ideology, but some portion of them will always be radical in their beliefs. Doesn't matter what the ideology is.

>>1416694
>I strongly believe it's not the blanket political ideology itself that makes someone far right or far left, it's how extreme they are
What make a party extremist is when it is part of their ideology to establish a SINGLE-party system and declare the adhesion to any other political affiliation an act of trahison.

If you don't agree with that definition, you can consider a that a party is far-keft when they want to abolish private property, which isn't what Mamdni is for.

In either case he is not far-left.

>>1416695

Not all Republicans question the 2020 results and trying to deny the result of the 2020 election means that you effectively adhere to the coup attempt that tried to overthrown a legitimate election.

So while you may not like it states are perfectly capable of determining who appears on their ballots even in elections for federal office. And, of course, they did obey the court's orders and put him on the ballot when told they had to. So you're 0/2 on your argument that the Dems want to be the uniparty. Meanwhile, trump said that if he won we won't need to have elections again, and dragged his feet on obeying court orders related to the return of wrongly deported immigrants. Please try again with a different argument mr. shill, and tell your boss that this one ain't it.

It's a bot.

I'm not against this because it is the first step towards taxing "minorities"(blacks and mexicans) more than whites. Just wait until politicians start running on the platform of more taxes on certain races and less taxes on others and eventually one of them is going to win
