They taxed rich people and kept congestion pricing pretty much.
A big slug of money from the state was the real budget closer.
Right. In exchange for taxing second homes in NYC
"The poor get all the breaks! It isn't fair!"
Right, taxing second homes worth $5 million or more. Are we supposed to feel sorry about rich people who can afford a SECOND home that's over $5 million, when they are asked to pay a tiny bit extra?
Those wealthy parasites would let everybody in NYC literally starve to death before they would pay an extra nickel. Fuck anyone who believes that, we should confiscate EVERYTHING from them, and throw them in prison.
