In late July, New York City released its first pied-à-terre tax roll under Mayor Mamdani, and what emerged was larger than anyone had planned for — more properties, more names, more exposure. The policy was born of a genuine civic tension: how to reclaim housing from speculative wealth in a city where affordability has become a moral emergency. But the public disclosure of those names opened a second debate, older and harder to resolve, about whether transparency and safety can always coexist, and who bears the cost when they cannot.
