Hochul backs luxury second-home tax to help close NYC budget gap

Kathy Hochul partially reverses course and endorses a pied-à-terre tax on NYC second homes over $5 million to help close the city’s multibillion-dollar deficit, a move paired with Mayor Mamdani’s push for higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy.
