The frontrunner of the socialist mayor of New York plans to tax more “white districts”

The socialist Zohran Mamdani, the alleged democratic candidate for the mayor of New York, is faced with a campaign policy document which explicitly calls for moving the city’s tax burden on “richer and white districts”.

Mamdani provoked a political earthquake in the former New York governor, the former New York governor of this week, in an amazing upheaval, almost ensuring his place on the November bulletin. The affordability of the accommodation was a central pillar of its campaign.

A policy document Entitled “Stop the Squeeze on Nyc Homeowners” of the Mamdani mayor’s campaign website argues that the city’s current property tax system benefits in a disproportionate to rich, white owners, in particular in Manhattan and the wealthy areas of Brooklyn, by allowing them to pay much less in the taxes of obsolete evaluation.

On the other hand, the owners of black houses, Latin-Latin-American and immigrants in neighborhoods like Brownsville and Jamaica in the external arrondissement of the queens are overloaded and more at risk of foreclosure.

His solution?

“Pass the tax burden of the owners over-surveyed in the outdoor districts to more expensive houses in richer and white neighborhoods,” said the proposal. “The property tax system is unbalanced because the evaluation levels are artificially capped, so the owners in the expensive neighborhoods pay less than their fair share.”

The proposal would reduce the taxable part of the values ​​of the properties evaluated in the city scale and would compensate for this by increasing real tax rates in richer areas. The result: lower tax invoices for low -income and highest districts for affluent areas – which the campaign describes as “richer and white”.

The racial component of the political position has been criticized online, with the diffuser Mark Levin Sharing a New York post A story on the proposal and writing “Oh, and Mamdani is also racist.”

The political commentator Eric Daugherty also brandished him as explicitly “racist” on X, while the New York Post editorial committee also criticized the proposal for “pure racism”.

Fox News Digital contacted Mamdani’s campaign to comment but did not immediately receive an answer.

The campaign document also highlights racial disparities in the theft of acts and “tangled titles”, which are situations where someone lives in a house they believe to have – often by inheritance – but their name is not on the act, creating legal uncertainty on property.

The document indicates that black predominance districts face these challenges at much higher rates than white districts.

To remedy this, Mamdani offers a “tangled title fund” of $ 10 million to help city residents hire lawyers and clear legal titles so that they can obtain full rights and benefits.

Mamdani is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, whose preamble discusses a means of “putting an end to white supremacy and racial oppression because its destruction is in the interest of all workers, including white workers”.

Overall, the housing document supervises the inequalities in the city’s housing as a racist and economically unfair structurally.

The document also claims that the city’s tax privilege sales system is operator and racist. When an owner is late on land taxes as part of the system, the city sells this debt to a private trust of investors supported by Wall Street, generally at a reduced price. Instead of recovering the debt directly.

“The sale of tax privileges was particularly harmful for owners of black, brown and workers houses, which has led many owners to lose their house because of foreclosure, or to force them to sell below the market value in order to repay their accumulated debts”, indicates the document. “The city is six times more likely to sell a tax privilege in a black district than a white neighborhood. This policy extracts the richness of black, brown and working class and undressing the New Yorkers from their homes.”
