NYC only has 154 billionaires. The percentage of NYC's second homes owned by NYC billionaires is fractional (59,000 total units). No, this will disproportionately negatively affect middle-class people and families and fuck them hard. > I didn’t realize the billionaires ... are crabs in the same bucket as us. All of us go to the same place in the end my dude. Life is too short and too hard to spend all your time living by comparisons. I'm sure the people you're worried about are just as miserable for other reasons. | ||

If you have a second home in manhattan, you are not the middle class _and_ you can afford it. If the idea of paying taxes affects your poor fragile mind so negatively then there is an easy solution where you can sell said extra home. No one is being fucked hard by this other than people who are appalled at the thought that they need to contribute to society for the negative externalities they create, like accumulating excess shelter in regions with a dearth of housing capacity. | ||
