- Pied-à-Terre Tax Pushback: Griffith rejects the tax proposal (“ABSOLUTELY NOT”), arguing that targeting non-primary luxury residences harms rather than helps the city’s housing economy.
- Valuation Gaps: She points out the massive discrepancy between New York City’s official assessed property values and actual real-world market transaction prices.
