New York is real estate, and the foundation of that real estate is in many cases families. Some have names you know — the Dursts, Kushners and Silversteins — and some, such as the Goldmans, keep a lower profile. But all have an outsize influence on the streetscape and how the city runs. The property taxes paid on apartment buildings and office towers, for example, account for 43% of the city’s total tax revenue on a yearly basis, according to the Independent Budget Office.
