Billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has sparked controversy by expressing support for a proposed tax on second homes in New York City. The plan, which has been met with mixed reactions from local residents and politicians, aims to discourage wealthy individuals from buying up properties in the city and drive up housing costs. In a recent interview, Bezos seemed to endorse the measure, suggesting that it is a "fine" idea that could help address the city's affordability crisis. However, his comments have been met with skepticism by some who question the effectiveness of the tax in achieving its intended goals, and whether it will ultimately benefit the city's most vulnerable residents.
