Well, that’s pretty clear. 👀 Mayor Michelle Wu was asked whether Prop 2½ should be repealed or changed. Her answer: “Yes, it needs to be.” When the conversation turned to giving Boston more power to tax, Wu noted that other cities already have that setup and added that the...

Mamdani’s Pied-à-Terre Tax Hits Full-Time New Yorkers — And He’s Fine With That Mayor Zohran Mamdani is requiring longtime New York City residents who live in the city full-time to prove it — simply to avoid a new surcharge on their homes. Notices have been sent telling some owners they “may” face five-figure tax bills unless they submit documentation confirming their property is a primary residence. When pressed on the errors, the mayor largely dismissed the concerns, stating that the Department of Finance had “identified homes that may be subject to the surcharge” and that owners have time to appeal. “As required by the law, the Department of Finance sent informational resources to homeowners to ensure that they understood the tax… and also if they did not believe it to apply to them, that they had the time in order to be able to appeal,” Mamdani said. (Video: AI) At the same time, illegal immigrants continue to receive free housing and services costing New York City well over $1 billion this year. Full-time residents who own and live in valuable properties are being treated as if they must justify their presence. Why would anyone who has built equity and a life here choose to remain in a city that subjects them to this burden while others receive a free pass? Legal residents of means will answer by voting with their feet and relocating to cities and states that are more financially welcoming. This trend is already underway, and places like Florida and Texas are capitalizing on it.

Property taxes help fund schools, roads, emergency services, and local infrastructure. That part of the system matters and most people understand why those taxes exist. But the conversation changes when an 85 year old retiree on a fixed income is paying $15,000 a year just to stay in a home they already paid off decades ago. Property taxes are tied to rising home values. As neighborhoods become more expensive, assessments increase and tax bills rise with them. The problem is that homeowners do not need to sell their property, earn more income, or receive any actual cash for those bills to go up. A couple who bought a modest home in the late 1980s may now live in a property worth several times what they originally paid. On paper, they look wealthier. In reality, they may still be relying entirely on Social Security or retirement savings that have not kept pace with rising costs. That creates a situation where people can become “house rich but cash poor.” They technically own valuable property, but the monthly tax burden can become impossible to manage. Many states do offer relief programs for seniors, including homestead exemptions, tax freezes, and income based credits. But these programs are often difficult to access, limited by strict qualifications, or reduced when budgets tighten. The people who need the help most are often the least likely to successfully navigate the system. It is possible to support property taxes as a way to fund essential public services while also recognizing that the system needs reform for older homeowners living on fixed incomes. Those ideas can exist together. You can’t expect someone who’s 67, or 72, or 85 to keep paying the government $10,000-15,000 every year just to live in their own paid off house. If you defend this system you’re brainwashed. Nowhere else costs this much only here.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu just officially filed for re-election—she wants 4 more years to finish the job of destroying Boston. Under her radical leadership: – She turned Boston into a dumping ground for addicts, scattering encampments across neighborhoods and near schools – She pushed sanctuary policies that protect criminal illegal aliens over Boston residents. Many with despicable crimes against children. – Property crime, theft, and break-ins are up—but she continues to gaslight the public with claims that “crime is down” – She offered public condolences to a violent criminal after a police-involved shooting – She wants taxpayers to fund “treatment” for drug dealers while ignoring victims and working-class families – She took $300,000 in campaign donations from individuals tied to Chinese Communist Party front groups – She increased the DEI budget by 50% while essential services and infrastructure decay – She wasted taxpayer money installing bike lanes without a plan—then ripped them out months later This is who she is: a fringe ideologue more loyal to her activist base than to the people of Boston. Wu doesn’t listen. She silences dissent, governs through chaos, and hides from real scrutiny—posting only on activist platforms and sitting for puff-piece interviews with friendly media. She’s not a leader. She’s a far-left activist cosplaying as mayor—and Boston is paying the price. We cannot afford 4 more years of this. Vote NO on Mayor Wu this November
