With Trump Poised to Sign Tax Bill, Pity Long Islanders

"Today we are giving the people of this country their money back," proclaimed Paul Ryan Tuesday as the House passed a sweeping rewrite of the tax code (it has to vote again Wednesday because of this glitch). That's likely not the case for current and future homeowners in these 7 cities. That's because homeowners can currently deduct the entirety of their property tax, and under the proposed tax laws, the deduction for state and local property taxes maxes out at $10,000. Trulia identified the metro areas where the biggest proportion of homeowners exceed that cap, and Business Insider took the number-crunching a step further, determining the home value at which the property tax bill would exceed the $10,000 mark.
