NYC Mayor Mamdani's 'Wanted Poster' Doxes 950,000 Property Owners, Liberal Podcaster Says

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has opened a dangerous new front in the war on success. His administration published a searchable database of 950,000 property owners, complete with names and addresses. Critics call it a doxing list that puts law-abiding Americans at risk.

Liberal podcaster and NYU professor Scott Galloway didn't mince words. He called the database a 'wanted poster' for successful people. 'I've been doxed,' Galloway said on his 'Pivot' podcast. He read the definition of doxing: publishing private info to expose someone to public pressure or harm without their consent.

Galloway, a self-described progressive, slammed the mayor for playing into conservative fears. 'He's not only playing into the worst fears about him, but he's making it harder for all progressives,' Galloway said. 'The Republicans argue that progressive tax structures are persecution. This plays exactly into that narrative.'

The database targets non-primary residences worth over $5 million for a proposed pied-a-terre tax. But Galloway noted that 95% of people on the list won't even be subject to the tax. 'Other than implying these people have done something wrong and publishing their address without their permission, what possible upside is there?' he asked.

Galloway warned that this undermines the very appeal of New York. 'The reason people move to New York is they think, I want to be successful. No one's going to get in my way if I'm really talented and work hard,' he said. 'We're not going to put a big R on your door and say you've done something wrong because you're successful.'

The Real Estate Board of New York called the rollout flawed. President James Whelan said, 'We opposed this tax in part because we warned that determining who is and is not subject to it would be extraordinarily complicated. Even we did not expect implementation to be this flawed.'

Mamdani's office defended the database, claiming it's required by state law. A city official pointed to similar rolls in other cities. But critics note that this comes just 18 months after a healthcare CEO was executed in the street. The message is clear: in Mamdani's New York, success is a crime.

This is what happens when the government turns against its own people. The Constitution protects property rights. The American Dream rewards hard work. Mamdani's 'wanted poster' does neither.
