The Pied-à-Terre Tax and Its Potential Revenues - Office of the New York City Comptroller Mark Levine https://share.google/4ybZGPdS9SjIVlVdd

The pied a terre tax is on properties valued at 5 million or more. That doesn't sound like working class families to me? How about you?

  1. Why a Google redirect?
  2. You're aware this is a proposal that never took effect. If you did read it, acquiring $510 million in taxes doesn't even tackle the billionaires…

_Why a Google redirect?__

I don't know what that is

The proposal is what this is. The governor has expressed support. It's in progress.

The Google redirect is how you shared the link, it makes a new shorter URL that takes you to the actual website. I assume you pressed 'share' or something instead of directly copying the URL, which is this:

https://comptroller.nyc.gov/reports/the-pied-a-terre-tax-and-its-potential-revenues/

In general it is best practice to copy the URL directly, as it is compatible with all browsers (the one you posted does nothing on Firefox) and prevents tracking and such.

Agree with you on the argument n stuff just doing my part to educate about the Internet, hope that made sense :)
