New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/u><\/a> promoted a Big Apple “where every family can afford a home” and ripped “ICE\u2019s cruelty and violence” Saturday as he faces criticism for proposing hiking property taxes to balance the city\u2019s budget.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mamdani made the remarks while paying tribute to the late Rev. Jesse Jackson at an event hosted by Al Sharpton\u2019s National Action Network.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“When New Yorkers link arms with someone they have never met before and marched for the voiceless and the downtrodden, hope is alive. When New Yorkers sacrifice their precious free time in a city where every child can have the education that they deserve, where every family can afford a home in the stability that it holds, where our criminal justice system is fair and our economy is just, when New Yorkers link arms in the fight for those things, hope is alive,” Mamdani said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Hope is the light. And we know this, that while Reverend Jackson may not be with us any longer, his purpose has not dimmed, his clarity has not faded. As we work every day towards a New York that delivers dignity for all, towards a nation that rejects ICE\u2019s cruelty and violence, towards the stranger among us, and towards a society where compassion is not a rarity, where solidarity is not abstract, let the reverend\u2019s words be our guide,” he added.<\/p>\n

NYC RESIDENTS SAY MAMDANI RENEGING ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROMISE WITH PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX HIKE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

During a news conference on Tuesday, Mamdani called on New York Gov. Kathy Hochul<\/u><\/a> and state lawmakers in Albany to raise income taxes on the “ultra-wealthy and the most profitable corporations” to help close the city’s budget gap.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If they do not, Mamdani warned about “painful decisions of last resort<\/u><\/a>” that include a potential 9.5% property tax increase. \u00a0<\/p>\n

MAMDANI TELLS \u2018THE VIEW\u2019 HE FAVORS ABOLISHING ICE<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This increase would affect approximately 3 million homes across working and middle-class New Yorkers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some New York City residents now argue that Mamdani is reneging on his affordable housing campaign promises by floating potentially hiking property taxes.<\/p>\n

“You are giving only two options. You’re saying if we don’t tax the rich then I gotta increase property taxes,” one Queen homeowner, James Johnson, reportedly told WABC.<\/a> “We are not a pawn in Southeast Queens. We are not part of your negotiation tactics.”<\/p>\n

Mamdani admitted that middle class New Yorkers would bear the brunt of his proposal.<\/p>\n

“This would effectively be a tax on working and\u00a0middle class\u00a0New Yorkers, who have a median income of $122,000,” Mamdani said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
