Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

Some must like what they got since they voted for it.

More of a rebellion against the other side, a likely preview of what we will see next fall.

This is all part of the DSA plan. Increase property taxes to the point you force middle income households out of their homes. Then force them into public housing. Slowly eliminate private property over time. Ensure the majority of citizens are dependent on the government for housing. With that voting majority, consolidate political control and seize private entities, the means of production being one.

Because we all know homeownership is white supremacy, right? Some much for affordability. Without a strong moderate figure in the DNC, this is the direction your major blue cities will move and with that your blue states.

Property tax calculations sound like a complete cluster in NYC.

new york city property tax rate


For the 2025/26 fiscal year in New York City, provisional property tax rates are set at 20.630% for Class 1 (1–3 family homes), 12.340% for Class 2 (other residential), and 11.114% for Class 3 (utilities), based on assessed value. These rates are retroactive to July 1, 2025, and are used for bills due in 2026.


NYC Property Tax Rates (FY 2025/26)
Class 1 (One- to three-family homes): 20.630%
Class 2 (Apartments, Condos, Co-ops): 12.340%
Class 3 (Utility properties): 11.114%
Class 4 (Commercial/Office): 11.833% (approximate, based on 86 basis point increase)
Key Considerations
Calculation Method: Tax is not calculated on the market value, but on the assessed value, which is generally
of the market value for Class 1 and
for Class 2.
Revaluation: Class 1 properties have capped assessment increases (
annually or
over 5 years), meaning the assessed value often lags behind market value.
Upcoming Changes: The FY 2027 Preliminary Budget (released Feb 2026) suggests a potential
tax rate increase for the following year to address budgetary needs.
Bills: Updated tax bills for 2025/26 were sent in November 2025, with payments due in January 2026.

It is NYC it is not surprising, and it is not a reaction to the other side. He promised everybody Doritos and Dr. Pepper. Sometimes people vote for stuff, and they need to get it and get it hard. I am actually glad that he won and, in a way, it is good to see what is happening there and in Virginia, individual laboratories of democracy, hopefully people in other states can view what happens when you don't vet your candidates and lack the gumption to get off your phone and go vote.

No other side exists in NYC unless you are talking about two sides of the same party.

As long as they keep their rebellion in NYC, I am okay with that.

NYC also has a 8.875 sales tax and an additional city income tax as well as a state income tax.

That is far from the truth, when it comes to Mayoral elections... But the state of the national Republican party is making it more and more true each day.

I don't know where you get your info. Here's mine for NY state. I guess you could think NYC is remarkably different. I doubt it, but I'll see what I can find.

Here's info for NYC.

• As of 2025 (from analyses of New York State Board of Elections data), Democrats comprised approximately 65.9% of NYC registered voters. Republicans were at about 10.73%, and unaffiliated ("blanks") voters were at 21.01%.
• An earlier 2025 report from the NYC Campaign Finance Board (reflecting around April 2025) stated Democrats made up almost two-thirds (roughly 66%) of the NYC electorate, with unaffiliated at 21.1% and Republicans at 11.0%.

The squabble is between the Democrat Governor and Democratic Socialist Mayor of NYC.

Dont worry, lots of the NYC socialists who cant stomach cost/taxes can move to FL and ruin things there too.

NYC has had Republican mayors. Bloomberg and Giuliani most recently. And it's not a safe assumption that registration will determine who people vote for. In NY, you have to be registered for a party in order to vote in primaries, so even people who will vote either way have to pick one. But, I would agree that Democrats have an advantage there and that this has been getting more and more true as the national Republican party shifts further and further to the right (which I believe was the point that brought this up). A Republican mayor with Trump in office would be unthinkable there. I personally know people who live in NYC, have generally voted Republican, but have switched sides and are voting blue because of Trump and the state of the GOP nationally.

This is all part of the DSA plan. Increase property taxes to the point you force middle income households out of their homes. Then force them into public housing. Slowly eliminate private property over time. Ensure the majority of citizens are dependent on the government for housing. With that voting majority, consolidate political control and seize private entities, the means of production being one.

Because we all know homeownership is white supremacy, right? Some much for affordability. Without a strong moderate figure in the DNC, this is the direction your major blue cities will move and with that your blue states.

Do you actually think it's possible for Democratic Socialists to create and then implement an overarching plan like that? I mean seriously man. Not a chance. Mamdani was elected for the same reasons Trump was, he was so ridiculous that people thought he might be different, and different must be better.

Not that it supports all of their taxing, but one reason the East has significantly higher taxes is that those states weren't "given" millions of acres of land to subsidize the public education system.

WTF are you talking about?

Yeah, and Washington has had Republican Governors. You can pretend, but those days are gone.

Right there is some fantastic tinfoil hat fodder. 'Wonder what 17rem would think.

Yeah, they are just carbon copies of each other.

Breaking news, Trump isn't a resident of NYC.
