Mayor Mamdani has raised taxes, published the names and addresses of wealthy property owners, lost $12 billion in millionaire flight, and pushed rents to all-time highs — all in his first months in office. South Florida has never looked better.
What started as a viral Tax Day video outside Ken Griffin's penthouse has become a pattern — each week, a new provocation. Here is the complete record of what this mayor has done, and what it is costing New York.
It took a moment to digest what I was watching. It was creepy and weird. He put me in harm's way. This reflects a profound lack of judgment on the part of the Mayor of New York City.
Mamdani's administration published the names and addresses of thousands of wealthy New Yorkers who could be subject to the second home tax — effectively doxxing private citizens to enforce a political agenda.
New York's millionaire exodus has already left New York's government nearly $12 billion poorer. Estimates say Florida gained more than $20 billion in income from new residents while New York lost its share of America's millionaires.
Rents hit an all-time high in Mamdani's NYC as millionaires make a mass exodus — the exact opposite of what taxing the rich was supposed to accomplish.
First he targeted billionaires on camera. Then he taxed second homes. Then he tried to arrest a foreign head of state. Now his administration is publishing the personal addresses of thousands of private New Yorkers. This is not a stable policy environment. Florida is.
Calculate Your SavingsFrom the Griffin penthouse confrontation to government doxxing and a failed attempt to arrest a foreign leader, the Mamdani administration has become a national story — and a national warning.
Creepy and weird. He put me in harm's way.
Leave if you tax them. New York's millionaire exodus has already left government nearly $12 billion poorer.
It's unquestionably true that we made the right choice moving to Miami.
Enter your income for a side-by-side comparison of what you pay in New York versus what you'd pay in Florida. No spin — just math. Remember: Mamdani has also proposed a new 2% surcharge on incomes over $1 million.
Florida levies no state income tax — permanently enshrined in the state constitution. That is an immediate 4–9% increase in after-tax income, effective the day you establish residency. No surcharges. No millionaire tax. Zero.
Florida does not publish your name and home address on a government website to enforce tax policy. In New York, Mamdani's administration just did exactly that to thousands of property owners.
Florida consistently ranks in the top five states for business climate. Streamlined permitting, lower corporate tax burden, and an administration that competes for investment rather than threatening to tax or expose it.
Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties have posted significant appreciation since 2020. No pied-à-terre tax, no second-home surcharge, no government list of your property on a public website.
Year-round warm climate, internationally acclaimed dining and culture, waterfront living, and a social infrastructure that rivals any global city — without the dysfunction, record rents, or political chaos of New York.
Citadel, Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, Point72 — the institutional migration of finance and technology to South Florida is accelerating. $20 billion in new income has flowed into Florida from New York residents alone.
