One of the other NYT articles about Mamdani seems to rebut the claim that Mamdani is proposing tax increases. According to the NYT those payment would only be voluntary:
"He won over progressives with a populist message of making the city more affordable, in part by asking corporations and the wealthy to pay more, and he spread his vision through viral social media videos."
It is great news that all that Mamdani plans to do is "ask corporations and the wealthy to pay more", which is much better than forcing them. This assumes, however, that the NYT article is being honest in its description of Mamdani's plans.
