December marks the 25th anniversary of the law that created New York City's current property tax system, as well as the long debate about its intrinsic inequities. The Independent Budget Office is releasing a report examining how the weight of the property tax is shared across communities and classes of homes and buildings. Is reform warranted? Is it politically possible? The city has changed—should our tax system change with it?
