Comedians Dana Carvey and David Spade criticised New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's proposed property tax on high-value homes, calling it "dangerous" and "a little weird" after a list detailing the properties in question was published. Their comments add high-profile comedic voices to the growing public and media debate over Mamdani's tax policy, reflecting broader scrutiny of his approach to taxing pied-à-terres and expensive real estate in the city.

The remarks came after the release of a database listing properties that would be affected by the tax, which drew criticism and commentary from across media circles. The article, published by Fox News, offers limited detail on the substance of Carvey and Spade's specific objections beyond their characterisation of the policy as concerning.
