Episode 136: Emergency Pod: NYC Pied A Terre Tax, The Goal, The Reality, The Problems, + A Letter from Vornado's CEO
Episode 138
Friday, 8 May, 2026

Pleased to have my friend & industry veteran, Justin Rubinstein, founder of J. Rubinstein Homes, back on the pod. We jump on this quick episode to discuss the newly proposed pied-à-terre tax by Mayor Mamdani. We discuss the pros, cons, and likely pain points of this tax, as well as the political climate in our real estate industry. I end the episode by reading the recently released letter from Vornado Realty Trust CEO Steve Roth, which he addressed at a recent REBNY (Real Estate Board of New York) conference. Please check out Justin's updated website, along with his recent interview with our Founder & CEO, Rob Reffkin, here or here! Follow my socials: Instagram LinkedIn X
