NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Across the U.S., calls to \u201ctax the rich\u201d<\/a> have become potent political slogans. But even in Mayor Zohran Mamdani\u2019s New York, getting the wealthy to pay more isn\u2019t playing out as smoothly as supporters hoped.<\/p>\n

What seemed at first like an easy idea \u2014 slapping a new tax on people who own luxury second homes in the Big Apple<\/a> but live elsewhere most of the year \u2014 has instead created a lot of confusion in the city\u2019s notoriously convoluted world of real estate arrangements.<\/p>\n
