The city Department of Finance released an “enemies list” of property owners who might be covered by the new non-resident “pied-a-terre” tax — a kind of one-stop class-warfare shopping list for antifa radicals looking for targets.
The “enemies list” of property owners consolidates their names, addresses and assets into a ready-made targeting directory. History shows how dangerous this can become: authoritarian movements have repeatedly used property rolls, confiscation lists and public registries to identify, intimidate and dispossess politically demonized classes—from Soviet “kulaks” to Jewish property owners catalogued under the Nazis. Government should never package citizens’ personal information in a form that invites harassment, burglary or political retaliation. Once the state publicly marks a class of people as villains to be punished, taxation can become something far darker: organized intimidation violence .
The city’s Department of Finance uploaded the comprehensive list – which purports to cover all unoccupied, non-primary residences in the five boroughs worth north of $1 million – including the full names and addresses of every property owner.
“It’s a reckless and foolish move, especially considering there are potentially thousands of properties on this list that do not qualify as second homes or whose owners will successfully dispute their inclusion,” Council Minority Leader David Carr (R-Staten Island) — whose own home appears on the list — told The Post Monday.
Mamdani’s ‘enemies of the people’ pied-à-terre tax list is no joke

ADVERTISEMENTMind you, publicizing the list serves no good purpose: The city is mailing all these owners asking them to clarify if they don’t qualify for the new tax, so this publicity isn’t about informing them, it’s about scaring them.
Worse: As the DoF website admits, the list “is not limited to, those properties that may be subject to the surcharge,” meaning most of the list isn’t relevant to the new tax.
Above all, many people on the list are the primary residents of the homes they own, which can be a condo or coop that would sell at $1 million or more — which includes a ton of one-bedroom pads in today’s market.
Worse yet, the whole thing is slapdash, blatantly generated with no human bothering to examine it.
Consider: Who’s not paying their “fair share” on the $37 million brownstone at 1033 Fifth Ave., across the street from the Metropolitan Museum of Art? Why, the Islamic Republic of Iran, that’s who — and many other tax-exempt diplomatic buildings also made the list.
Why did no one at City Hall stop this amateur-hour idiocy?
Because the Democratic Socialist crew is obsessed with naming and shaming their “class enemies”: As national DSA co-chair Megan Romer explained on Fox News Sunday, “We will win by making conditions so intolerable to the ruling class that they would rather give in to our demands than live with the disturbance we cause.”
