The money for DAT FREE STUFF has to come from somewhere. I’m surprised Redditors are acknowledging his plan kind of sucks. |

Date: February 17th, 2026 5:42 PM Author: ,.,..,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,.,,..,..,.,,..,.,,. they won't do shit about it. they'll grumble and pay up. NYCmos are actually close to the ideal tax cattle/pay-piggies/etc. they often have a strong personal desire to live in the city for status or cultural reasons, and will pay up for the privilege.
if anything, they are probably substantially undertaxed from that perspective. it makes sense to start squeezing them and charging them more of a premium for their preferences. |

That said, cutting spending is probably the first thing he should look at. But in NYC that's probably harder than raising taxes. |

Date: February 17th, 2026 6:39 PM Author: N904PD Dummy, cities have to balance the budget because they don’t have a money printer.
Now they CAN issue bonds, but NYC would get shit rates without raising more revenue.
So the idea is that for like every new dollar you raise in taxes you can borrow 3 more and leave the next mayor to sort it out. |
