Wonks write a lot about it but I don’t hear much from politicians or even average people, who are tragically unaware of the issue. The thing where de Blasio pays under $10k annually on two houses worth at least $3.5 million is absolutely vomit-inducing.

It needs a coherent simple story - and it doesn’t help that New York democrats are largely neolibs who don’t think this is a problem…

I don’t have a big beef with neoliberals. I do have a beef with paying way more money than other people. That’s the story. Then it’s just a matter of comparing how many people who vote would stand to gain from reform to how many would stand to lose from reform.
