"What I will say is that I am very much interested in property tax reform because what we see right now in New York City is a system that is so inequitable that it can't even stand up in court. And the president and I spoke about the importance of not only building more housing but also making sure that regulation of housing is something that is manageable to actually get through"
"Posobiec interjected, That's what you said, as Mamdani added, the use of the term was a description of neighborhoods, not a description of intent. So, you intend to tax the whiter neighborhoods more? Posobiec pressed. No, we intend to create a fair property tax system because we want a New York City that is not only fair and equitable, but also one that every New Yorker can afford, Mamdani replied."
Jack Posobiec questioned Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani during an Oval Office press Q&A after Mamdani met with President Donald Trump. Posobiec alleged a campaign proposal to shift property tax burdens from minority communities to whiter neighborhoods and criticized Mamdani's acceptance speech for omitting references to America, Christians, or white people. Mamdani responded that the focus remains on affordability, the cost-of-living crisis, and property tax reform, calling the current system inequitable and legally vulnerable. Mamdani emphasized building more housing and easing housing regulation. Mamdani denied any intent to impose race-based taxes and said the aim is a fair, affordable property tax system for all New Yorkers.
