Eric Adams’ Next Act Keeps Him In NYC’s Housing Fight

Eric Adams is out of City Hall, but he is not exactly retiring from New York’s housing fight. In a new interview, the former mayor lays out a post-office career advising companies and governments on infrastructure, energy and construction technology while taking pointed shots at Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s approach to housing. The message is familiar: build more, keep investors interested, and do not treat real estate like the villain in New York’s affordability saga.

Hochul claims she’s against tax hikes for wealthy, businesses after pushing through new NYC fee for luxury 2nd homes

She’s trying to have it both ways. Gov. Kathy Hochul boasted Wednesday that she’s not on board with Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s “tax the rich” crusade — even as her new tax on luxury second homes is driving the well-to-do away. The Democratic governor said she’s not squeezing millionaires and billionaires for revenue, and claimed that the new “pied-a-terre” tax she pushed through wasn’t speeding up the ongoing exodus of New Yorkers fleeing to cheaper states. Gov. Kathy Hochul claimed she’s against the “tax the rich” crusade that’s a rallying cry for Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his socialist cronies — even though she did push through a new tax on luxury second homes in the city. Gregory P. Mango for NY Post “We should not be raising taxes on high-net-worth individuals,” Hochul told FOX5’s “Good Day New York” on Wednesday. “We should not be raising taxes on the companies that are creating the jobs and generating the revenue that helps us pay for the services that people in New York City come to rely on.” The “pied-a-terre” tax hits the owners of non-primary residences in the five boroughs with an annual tax ranging from 4% to 6.5%, targeting condos and co-ops

A bigger DSA bloc is coming to Albany. Real estate is bracing.

A larger socialist bloc is headed to Albany, setting up fresh fights over real estate policy. The Legislature’s Democratic Socialists of America caucus is poised to grow from nine members to at least 15, with another seat still too close to call in Syracuse, after Tuesday’s Democratic primaries. The gains fall well short of giving the DSA control of Albany, but they will give the organization a louder voice in the debate over New York’s housing agenda.
