NYC pied-a-terre tax policy

As an FYI to those who are getting all huffity puffity over the pied-a-terre tax policy in NYC, this kind of puts it in perspective:

The hotel occupancy tax rate in New York City is 5.875% on the cost of the room. This tax is in addition to the applicable sales tax of 8.875%.

The pied-a-terre tax for properties valued at $1 million to $3 million, the rate is 4%; for those valued at $3 million to $5 million, it is 5.25%; and for properties valued above $5 million, the rate is 6.5%.

Welcome!

Greetings folks, and welcome to a spot on Lemmy and the "Fediverse" that I hope will provide for a useful forum for both professional mastering engineers, as well as any interested in audio production. Please: stick on topic here, and refrain from any personal attacks or name calling (including even subtle put downs) so that we can keep this a super courteous and useful place. Thank you! - Steve Berson, mastering engineer, Total Sonic Media - https://totalsonic.net

The Word

"But some, perhaps, will say: Are we to have no Word of God - no revelation? I answer, Yes; there is a Word of God; there is a revelation. The Word of God is the creation we behold and it is in this word, which no human invention can counterfeit or alter, that God speaketh universally to man. It is only in the Creation that all our ideas and conceptions of a Word of God can unite. The Creation speaks a universal language, independently of human speech or human language, multiplied and various as they be. It is an ever-existing original, which every man can read. It cannot be forged; it cannot be counterfeited; it cannot be lost; it cannot be altered; it cannot be suppressed. It does not depend upon the will of man whether it shall be published or not; it publishes itself from one end of the earth to the other. It preaches to all nations and to all worlds; and this Word of God reveals to man all that is necessary for man to know of God." - Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason, 1793
