Bloomberg should send re-appraise every building in the city.
It's a joke that so many people in Brooklyn pay just a few thousand dollars in property taxes a year when their homes are worth millions.
It's a scam and everybody knows it.

How about cutting pork and politicians special projectas instead. I was astounded at the amount of corruption in NYC politics when I first came to this city.

Cut Albany loose and we will have billions in surplus. Also stop giving all of our tax dollars to Bruce Ratner.

That photo may be the Vanderbilt Yard, but it's not Atlantic Yards, which is a project, not a place.

That is dreadful news about LICH. It seems they are proposing to cut all services to children: maternity, pediatrics, and elementary-school-based clinics. I understand the logic: the reimbursements for pediatric care are substantially below cost. I suppose it was always thus, but how cruel to balance budgets on the backs of the vulnerable and voiceless.
The LICH pediatric ER is outstanding. The article doesn't say whether LICH plans to cut that, too, but it implies that LICH will. Does anyone know for sure?

"That was one of the main attractions [cheap property taxes] to buying a brownstone in Brooklyn IronBalls!!!! It won't change soon."
Meanwhile, "Bloomberg said yesterday that he's considering raising property taxes by seven percent in January".

Once again, Norman "OCD" Oder wastes our time with a meaningless nitpick and the inevitable link to his boring, poorly-written blog that probably gets 10-15 hits per day.
