    There are reasons people have second homes. There are few reasons people have a second home that costs more than $5 million dollars. If they make enough money that it would be the reasonable way to have a second home, they should be paying more taxes on that wealth.

    It is only on the second home or in any home after the first?

      I remember something about homes owned by nonresidents, so I believe the second.

        Ah, ok, so is to tax the people that live 182 days in New York while traveling 183 days of the year so they can claim that the New York home is not their first

    Make the tax directly proportional to the number of unhoused people in the city. It created an incentive for rich people to actually fix the problem.

    Tax on second home in the same state is a good thing, tax on third home anywhere is also good. Prohibit companies from owning homes too would be nice :)
