The talented work force will be Transplant, support workers will be local market. Nyc natives do not Have the skill sets that suburban white transplants have. .
I didn't say anything about "suburban whites." I said transplants, as in people from out of state (not the suburbs of NYC), which may include immigrants living out in Silicon Valley on H-1Bs. Why bring up race? Curious you'd eagerly bring up whites, since a large portion of workers in Silicon Valley happen to be non-white foreigners from Asia and other areas of the world and are displacing the "suburban whites" you've eagerly put above natives as having a better skill set.

A lot of Asians and South Asians are now also on Wall Street.
Why do people who do not want more people/density live on the 0.001% of the country land mass that is dense? Seriously, if you don't like people or want cheap rents, there is literally the other 99% of the area to choose from. Just moving a little from here, to like middle PA, you can get condos for $60k and rents are ~$400/mo. Yet all these people do is complain and act like NYC is surrounded by molten lava.
You do not like more people moving in, yet you live in the most populous city.
You do not like density/real estate development, yet you live in the most dense city.
You are only here because of your job, yet you are against the city adding more jobs.
You want more services paid for by the city, yet you are against broadening the tax base through property appreciation and job growth for the city to get money to pay for these services. Why are you here?

Something like 99.99% of the country is less dense and less crowded, yes.
I think for some people it's referencing the past perhaps when the specific places they went to were less crowded in the city. Another is that NYC has had issues keeping up in terms of infrastructure so it's not that it can't theoretically take an influx of more people, but instead seems to practically be having issues.
For me, I'd rather they go to Newark because people and businesses will keep coming to NYC anyways as it's on a decent economic growth trajectory and I'd like to see other parts of the region or the US, especially the hard hit older industrial cities of the rust belt, get a piece of the pie. The purported good that a large corporate office with the jobs and residents it can bring would go a lot further elsewhere than here and can be a catalyst for some real positive change. Meanwhile, its potential to do so here is generally a lot more limited.
NYC is more than Manhattan and Brooklyn. NYC can easily absorb amazon and another 100k people. There are many places in queens and the Bronx that are under utilized.
Bring on Amazon. Only the fittest will survive here in NYC proper. May the odds be in your favor.

100K people from other states/country. More transplants which i know a lot of posters here are against. More gentrification/loss of neighborhood culture which a lot of posters hate.. More housing lottery threads which a lot of posters find annoying.
Uptown Manhattan is already getting pricey. Spots of the Bronx and Queens are already getting up there in price.
The HQ makes sense in Newark. It will improve the area.
Also, i am not sure why Amazon even needs a 2nd HQ. Now, Apple wants to follow suit and create another HQ on the East Coast. Amazon is following the lead of McDonalds and buying real estate.
