For one Miami-based businessman with a second home in New York’s West Village, the proposed levy is financially manageable. But he described it as reprehensible.

“Can I afford the tax? Yes. Is it going to deter me? No. But I think it’s shameful,” he said. “I provide a lot of money to people who are blue-collar workers who work for me, servers in restaurants. If we’re not there, there are going to be less people being paid.”
