New York City socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing heat on social media after his post celebrating the state’s new pied-à-terre tax on New Yorkers with a second home. "If you have a second home in New York City worth more than $5M, check your mailbox when you’re back in the five boroughs — because you've got mail," Mamdani posted on X, touting the tax on specific second properties introduced by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul that he supported going into effect soon. "Today, we sent notification letters to property owners, letting them know that our new pied-à-terre tax is coming soon," Mamdani continued. "The best city in the world deserves the best parks, libraries, and schools in the world. That's only possible when we all pay our fair share . " As of Friday morning, Mamdani’s post had been viewed over 10 million times and conservatives on social media blasted the mayor and warned that the exodus of wealthy New Yorkers will only continue under this new plan.

"NYC’s pied-à-terre tax hasn’t even started and brokers already say owners are calling to sell," GOP strategist and attorney Mehek Cooke posted on X . "Empty units don’t tip [doormen] or pay supers. You’re not taxing the rich. You’re firing the working class that depended on them. " "More incitement," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton posted on X .
