Mamdani’s 9.5% property tax hike isn’t “budgetary buffoonery”—it’s economic arson. He inherited a $5.4B deficit from Adams, then doubled down on fantasy math: taxing middle-class homeowners while his DSA base screams “eat the rich.” His own comptroller calls it regressive, hitting Black neighborhoods hardest.
Meanwhile, he’s draining rainy day funds to bankroll unworkable programs like city-run grocery stores. Adams kept the lights on with real cuts.
Mamdani? He’s torching the city’s fiscal foundation to fund his socialist cosplay.
