纽约市长佐赫兰·曼达尼在其政府发布一个可搜索数据库后，与该市富裕阶层的持续对抗又开辟了新战线。该数据库标注出了可能被征收该市拟议中的第二套房税的高端房产业主姓名和住址，批评者称此举可能使这些业主面临骚扰和公共安全风险。
该数据库由纽约市财政局发布，用户可搜索房产信息，查看非自住住宅可能被征收拟议税款的业主姓名和住址。财政局发言人表示，公布房产登记信息是州法律要求的。
“根据州法律，我们发布了供公众查阅的房产登记信息。财政局将据此清单，识别可能需缴纳新的非自住住宅财产附加税的房产，”该发言人对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。
一位熟悉相关流程、要求匿名的人士表示，多年来纽约市每年都会根据州法律公开发布类似的房产税登记信息。该人士称，新税种和附加税的流程都是一样的：州议会通过立法，公布公共房产登记信息，财政局再根据州政府设定的标准识别需缴纳税费的房产。

不过，批评者认为，该数据库将富裕业主的姓名和住址整合到一个易于搜索的单一平台，远超传统公共记录的范畴，可能带来新的隐私和安全风险。在美国最大城市纽约，公共安全始终是持续存在的政治议题，富裕居民长期将犯罪列为首要担忧，因此这场辩论显得尤为重要。
尽管房产所有权记录长期以来都是公开信息，但反对者称，纽约市将这些信息整合到专用数据库中的决定，可能让富裕房主更容易受到骚扰和潜在暴力威胁。纽约市政厅为该数据库辩护称，这是一项透明度工具，旨在帮助业主判断自己是否会受到拟议税款的影响，并了解如何申请豁免。
“比任何人都渴望这个数据库的，是曼达尼那帮共产主义社交媒体煽动者，他们巴不得随时随地骚扰美国人，”《“冷酷”播客》联合主持人约翰·阿什布鲁克警告道，他指出该数据库很容易被曼达尼的线上支持者用作 targeting 房东和其他房产所有者的工具。
“他们会攻击任何质疑其决策的人，毫无疑问，他们会骚扰每一个靠提供住房为生的纽约人，”他补充道。

与此同时，纽约房地产委员会主席詹姆斯·惠兰认为，该数据库也表明拟议中的征税范围远超支持者强调的超级富豪群体。尽管曼达尼最初将该提案宣传为对价值超过500万美元的第二套住房向“超级富豪和全球精英”征收的税款，但最终规则根据房产类型采用了不同的财政局估值门槛。据《纽约邮报》报道，该数据库中可能收录超过96万处住宅，用户可搜索并下载包括姓名和住址在内的房产所有者信息。
“在这项税收甚至尚未通过立法之际，市政厅就发布了可能被征税的房产数据库，这只会加剧人们对该提案的困惑，”惠兰对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。
“这个数据库真正表明的是，第二套房税的范围远比支持者宣称的更广、更复杂，”他继续说道。“政策制定者应该认真审视那些可能被纳入征税范围、却不符合该税原本针对的超级富豪群体标准的众多房主。”
曼达尼感谢曾在税收视频中抨击的亿万富翁为纽约警局提供资金
该数据库是曼达尼与该市最富裕居民之间日益紧张的关系的最新导火索。
今年早些时候，这位市长站在城堡投资集团创始人肯·格里芬位于中央公园南大道的2.4万平方英尺顶层公寓外宣传其对价值超过500万美元的第二套住房增税的提案。此前，他曾因个人财富批评这位亿万富翁对冲基金经理。这段视频点名提及了格里芬。

格里芬后来称这段视频“令人毛骨悚然且怪异”，认为视频突出了他的住所并宣传对富人增税，使他处于危险之中。
资深共和党战略家科林·里德认为，在人们对政治暴力担忧加剧的背景下，该数据库以及曼达尼针对富裕纽约人的整体言论可能带来危险后果。
“在当前政治暴力加剧的时代，这种煽动性和分裂性的言论不仅鲁莽，而且极其危险，尤其是来自一位不久前还承诺要做全体纽约人民市长的公职人员，”里德对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。
“这位市长妖魔化长期以来定义美国梦的成功和向上流动，而且是在这座定义了美国资本主义的城市里这么做，这已经够糟糕的了，”里德继续说道。“但他通过将不同阶层对立起来的方式行事，这有辱他所担任的公职。”
芝加哥清楚肯·格里芬与一个城市决裂会发生什么，现在曼达尼可能也要领教了
这场冲突也重新引发了一场更广泛的辩论：纽约是否有可能赶走长期支撑其经济的富裕居民和企业。据《福布斯》估计，身家约500亿美元的格里芬，在多年批评芝加哥的税收政策、犯罪问题和商业环境后，于2022年将城堡投资集团的全球总部从芝加哥迁至迈阿密。
此次撤离标志着格里芬与芝加哥的决裂。他在芝加哥建立了全球最大的对冲基金之一，并帮助巩固了这座城市作为全球金融中心的地位。此后他警告称，如果纽约的政策制定者推行他认为对高收入居民和企业不友好的议程，纽约可能面临类似后果。

这场最新争议爆发之际，商界领袖们正密切关注纽约的政治氛围是否会对长期支撑该市经济的金融行业和富裕纳税人变得不再友好。
这场辩论的核心是，纽约能否在不削弱为市政政府提供资金的税基的前提下，向最富裕居民征收更多税款。

Mamdani sparks fears of violence after doxing wealthy NYC property owners: ‘Outright dangerous’

Mayor Zohran Mamdani opened a new front in his ongoing battle with New York City’s wealthy after his administration published a searchable database identifying affluent property owners who could be subject to the city’s proposed pied-à-terre tax, a move critics say could expose them to harassment and public safety risks.
The database, released by the city’s Department of Finance, allows users to search properties and view the names and addresses of owners whose non-primary residences could be subject to the proposed tax. A spokesperson for the department said the publication of the property roll was required by state law.
“As per State law, a property roll was released for public inspection. From this list, DOF will identify properties that may be subject to the new non-primary residence property surcharge,” the spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
A person familiar with the process, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the city has publicly released similar property tax rolls every year for many years in accordance with New York state law. The person said new taxes and surcharges follow the same process: The state passes legislation, a public property roll is published, and the Department of Finance identifies the properties subject to the levy using criteria established by the state.

However, critics argue the database goes well beyond traditional public records by compiling the names and addresses of affluent property owners into a single, easily searchable location, potentially creating new privacy and security risks. The debate carries added weight in America’s largest city, where public safety remains a persistent political issue and affluent residents have long cited crime as a top concern.
While property ownership records have long been public, opponents say the city’s decision to aggregate them into a dedicated database could make wealthy homeowners more vulnerable to harassment and potential violence. City Hall has defended the database as a transparency tool designed to help property owners determine whether they could be affected by the proposed tax and understand how to seek an exemption.
“Nobody wants this database more than Mamdani’s band of communist social media agitators salivating to harass Americans at every turn,” “Ruthless” podcast co-host John Ashbrook warned, pointing out the database could easily become a tool for Mamdani’s online supporters to target landlords and other property owners.
“They attack anybody who questions his decisions, and there’s no question they’ll harass every New Yorker who provides housing for a living,” he continued.

Meanwhile, the Real Estate Board of New York President James Whelan argued that the database also illustrates how broadly the proposed tax could reach beyond the ultra-wealthy residents its supporters have emphasized. Although Mamdani initially promoted the proposal as a tax on secondary homes worth more than $5 million and owned by the “ultra-wealthy and global elites,” the final rules use different Department of Finance valuation thresholds depending on the type of property. According to the New York Post, over 960,000 residences could be listed in the database, which makes it possible to search and download property owners’ information, including their names and addresses.
“By publishing a database of properties that might be subject to this tax before the tax has even been enacted, City Hall has only added to the confusion surrounding this proposal,” Whelan told Fox News Digital.
“What this database really demonstrates is that the second-home tax is far broader and more complicated than its supporters have suggested,” he continued. “Policymakers should take a hard look at the many homeowners who could be swept in despite not fitting the profile of the ultra-wealthy residents this tax was supposedly designed to target.”
MAMDANI THANKS SAME BILLIONAIRE HE TARGETED IN TAX VIDEO FOR NYPD MONEY
The database marks the latest flashpoint in Mamdani’s increasingly contentious relationship with the city’s wealthiest residents.
Earlier this year, the mayor stood outside Citadel founder Ken Griffin’s 24,000-square-foot Central Park South penthouse, purchased for a record $238 million, to promote his proposal to raise taxes on second homes worth more than $5 million after previously criticizing the billionaire hedge fund manager over his personal wealth. The video singled out Griffin by name.

Griffin later called the video “creepy and weird,” arguing it put him in harm’s way because it highlighted his residence while promoting higher taxes on the wealthy.
Longtime Republican strategist Colin Reed argued that the database and Mamdani’s broader rhetoric against wealthy New Yorkers could carry dangerous consequences amid heightened concerns about political violence.
“In this era of heightened political violence, this type of inflammatory and divisive rhetoric is not only reckless, but outright dangerous, especially from a public official who not that long ago pledged to be a mayor for all New Yorkers,” Reed told Fox News Digital.
“It’s bad enough that the mayor is demonizing success and upward mobility that has so long defined the American dream, and doing so within the city that has defined American capitalism,” Reed continued. “But to do so by pitting various classes against one another is beneath the office he holds.”
CHICAGO KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN KEN GRIFFIN TURNS ON A CITY, NOW MAMDANI MAY FIND OUT
The clash has also revived a broader debate over whether New York risks driving away the wealthy residents and businesses that have long underpinned its economy. Griffin, whose fortune Forbes estimates at roughly $50 billion, moved Citadel’s global headquarters from Chicago to Miami in 2022 after years of criticizing the Windy City’s tax policies, crime and business climate.
The departure marked Griffin’s break from Chicago, where he built one of the world’s largest hedge funds and helped cement the city as a global financial hub. He has since warned that New York could face similar consequences if policymakers pursue an agenda he believes is hostile to high-income residents and businesses.

The latest controversy comes as business leaders closely watch whether New York’s political climate is becoming less welcoming to the financial industry and wealthy taxpayers that have long anchored the city’s economy.
At the center of the debate is whether the city can ask more of its wealthiest residents without weakening the tax base that helps fund municipal government.

Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani’s office asking why the administration chose to publish the searchable database rather than notify affected property owners privately and whether it conducted a legal or privacy review before making the information available online. The office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
