Mamdani's property tax dubbed 'dangerous' and 'a little weird' by comedians after published list

Comedians Dana Carvey and David Spade criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's pied-à-terre tax after the city published a list of property owners, calling the policy 'dangerous' and 'a little weird.' The tax targets high-value second homes over $5 million, but the release of a database listing 900,000 properties sparked concerns about safety and public shaming, though officials clarified only 17,000 properties face surcharges.
