That article specifically focuses on ultra-luxury properties (i.e. selling for >$10M). It is not generally true of most NYC apartments.

The main example in the article,

>the East Side bounded by Fifth and Park Avenues and East 49th and 70th Streets

Perhaps there is merit in taxing vacant $10M condo investment pieces, but it wouldn’t do anything to address housing shortages.
