The original plan to slash transfer taxes on luxury properties by up to 40% is on hold, sparking heated debate: supporters say it funds housing and homelessness prevention, while critics claim it’s stifling construction and driving up rents. New research backs the latter. The Housing Dept. is now tasked with exploring tax breaks for affordable housing projects. Full council vote still pending, with a November ballot likely if changes pass—and another committee may still push a competing reform measure.
