Michael Bloomberg, as New York mayor, raised property taxes after the 9/11 attacks to help fund the city's rebuilding, a fact highlighted in a PBS segment on the city's future. The comparison is being invoked against critics of Zohran Mamdani, suggesting they apply a double standard when he proposes taxing the wealthy to fund city priorities.
