US EditionZohran Mamdani proposes taxing 'whiter neighborhoods' in NYC
- On June 25, 2025, Zohran Mamdani secured the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor by defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo.
- Mamdani's campaign, which began with him as an outsider, focused on affordability and included a plan to shift property taxes from outer borough homeowners to wealthier, whiter neighborhoods.
- The tax proposal, detailed in a policy memo titled 'Stop the Squeeze on NYC Homeowners,' has generated controversy and criticism for targeting 'whiter neighborhoods' and potentially violating anti-discrimination laws.
- Mamdani proposed reallocating property taxes by reducing the load on heavily taxed homeowners in the outer areas of the city while increasing taxes on higher-valued properties located in more affluent and predominantly white neighborhoods, a plan that sparked criticism from conservatives and some members of his own party.
- As a result, the New York mayoral race has grown more contentious with incumbent Eric Adams running as an independent and Mamdani positioned as the Democratic frontrunner.
