just my prediction:

The rents that go up outside of LIC will not be astronomical, and everything will be fine.

Bottom line: Amazon will be a good thing for Queens and NYC.

Why would Amazon backout due to a bunch of city council members who have no real power or authority over them? Successful businesses don't make stupid decisions like that.

Has anyone had a chance to see the most recent South Park episode? Its basically prediction of what will come from Amazon and them jobs. Although a crude humor show, they have predicted many events, like a magic genie.

Please share. I haven't watched South Park in a long time.

They're gonna need to live close by because soon it will be nearly impossible to drive through LIC during the day time. It's already bad enough as it is.

They should be within walking distance because the 7 train is going to be absolutely no help.

You have it in reverse.

Brooklyn is over-priced. Queens is at fair market value based on actual amenities, schools and employment opportunities (and not hipster/transplant/tycoon fluff)

The latest is banning cashless businesses because poor people in high end restaurants and yuppie vegan restaurants.


I think that City Council should be abolished just as some suggest that the Public Advocate position should be.


Interesting that polls indicate that nonwhites might be less hostile to Amazon than the SJW whites. Turns out that they would prefer City Council to focus on what Amazon guarantees in terms of job training, and employment of city residents. The SJW hypocrites do all their shopping on Amazon I bet.
