Zohran Mamdani is demanding massive tax hikes to fund his ‘equity’ budget. But black homeowners in Queens aren’t having it and came out to protest his proposed 9.5% property tax hike which would push them out of their homes.

Residents in Queens were both angry and disappointed Thursday night in reaction to Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s proposal to increase property taxes.

They say he promised affordable housing for his entire campaign and has now made an about face.

The population of Cambria Heights is nearly 90% Black and 20% are senior citizens.

“I don’t plan to move. It’s my home. I’m not leaving,” said homeowner Vivian Campbell.

The retired real estate professional, who is on a fixed income, recently poured almost $35,000 into a new front porch and a new roof, but now, with Mayor Mamdani proposing a property tax increase, he feels duped.

“He lied. Not feel. It’s obvious,” Campbell said.

“You ran on affordability. This is not affordability. This is actually suicide for us right here in southeast Queens,” Cambria Heights homeowner James Johnson said.

“Mayor Zohran Mamdani you, are out your goddamn mind?” Johnson said.

“The property taxes will displace us. It’ll push us out. We already have young people moving to North Carolina, to Atlanta, to Houston. This will hurt us. And I just think the mayor could’ve gone about this a different way and we don’t want to be a part of your negotiation tactics,” said Johnson, who organized a rally in the neighborhood Thursday evening.

“New York state is horrible for home ownership period. So the fact that we’ve built a black community in New York state of homeowners is really remarkable and to lose it and to sit back idly while we lose it would be irresponsible of me,” Oster Bryan, who has lived in Cambria Heights for nearly 40 years, said.

“To the mayor, with the greatest respect, and every campaign speech and every debate where you engaged, we opened our ears to listen,” said homeowner, Pierry Benjamin. “Now today, accept the words echoing from us now, do your job as mayor and leave our taxes out.”

Mamdani is a rich kid who wants to raise taxes to fund his radical agenda. His affordability was always a lie.
