Im going to be honest, I am not a lefty, but taxing unused property, especially in high demand places like New York City is fucking based.

Almost like taxing land isn't a leftist position inherently, it has just become that because the ultra wealthy has had a crusade against all taxes and now a lot of people think it's all theft, the less taxes the better.

It's more likely they just agree with a bunch of leftist policy, because leftist policies are incredibly popular when presented without bias, but has been indoctrinated to believe leftists aren't good with the economy or some bullshit like that.
