NY Bill Targets 'Toxic Home Flipping', But Critics Warn of Unintended Consequences

Proposed by Senator Julia Salazar and Assembly member Catalina Cruz, the bill imposes a 65% tax on gains within the first year and 50% in the second. However, critics argue it unfairly targets small contractors, could lead to vacant properties, and may discourage necessary home renovations, making it a complex issue with good intentions but potentially problematic execution.
