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 :)
