So let me get this straight... According to her, these investors owning multi-million dollar properties are keeping the 'average working person' from owning these properties? I consider myself at the high-middle portion of an 'average working person' and there is no way I could afford a multi-million dollar home. Let the owners pay their property and school taxes like the rest of us and call it good.

I agree.
I have heard recently that since they don’t live here they avoid other taxes so they think this is fair. I had no clue that budgets were set up by the number of addresses in NYS/NYC and not the income taken in by state revenue.
The stupidity here astounds me.

Wait till the owners decide it's not worth keeping and the property taxes collapse.

They really do want to chase every well off individual out of this state, don't they? How about applying that level of taxation to private equity firms buying single family homes?

Anyone that has Pied-A-Terre means they also already have one Pied-à-la-porte.

I would definitely raise their taxes so they move both feet out the door.
