A ritzy Long Island hot spot on the luxurious North Fork is threatening to cap the number of Airbnb and short-term rentals it allows to just 1% of homes thanks to insufferable influencers and tourists. A proposal in the Town of Southold would drastically limit the number of short-term rental homes to under 120 across the town’s nine hamlets — an estimated 80% drop from the current market. “We are struggling to regulate [the short-term rental market],” Southold Town Attorney Ben Johnson told Newsday.

25 Historic Hudson Valley Estates and Mansions With Remarkable Stories

The Hudson Valley has been home to some of New York’s most remarkable country houses for more than three centuries. Long before the Gilded Age brought railroad fortunes, elaborate gardens, and grand weekend retreats to the river, colonial landowning families were establishing farms, trading centers, and estates along its banks. The Hudson was both a transportation route and a source of wealth. Land, agriculture, river commerce, and the labor of enslaved people and tenant farmers helped sustain the households that later became known for their imposing mansions.

NYC loses more than half of pied-a-terre tax appeals, threatening projected revenue pot: ‘Out the window’

More than half of the thousands of homeowners who have already appealed the city’s new pied-à-terre tax have won their cases, threatening the levy’s much ballyhooed revenue potential. When Big Apple Mayor Zohran Mamdani and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the controversial tax on luxury second homes — or co-ops worth more than $1 million and houses over $5 million — in the city, they claimed the policy would generate $500 million-plus in revenue. But the city Department of Finance told The Post that as of Friday morning, exemption applications had hit 10,000, with a whopping 5,700 approved — and the lawsuits and exemption requests are still coming in fast and furiously. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announces a new pied-a-terre tax for thousands of homeowners in a video posted to Twitter in April — and has been taking heat over it ever since.
