No one stopped growth and progress.


Only stopped dramatically rising rents and dramatically devolving transit from accelerating.

LOL, our infrastructure's been improving in tandem with the city's economic growth??

Blown up by folks who would have been adversely affected (well, with the critical assistance of politicos who were just flabbergasted at Amazon's arrogance!).

Companies realize they ain't "gotta be" in New York anymore to do legit business. Costs are sky high and tons of hurdles to clear to open up shop.

If New York keeps this up though, they'll see businesses bail and offices will end up like the shuttered retail storefronts on 5th Ave, the West Village and Soho.

Nope. Anyone moving to China? Russia? Of course not.


NYC will be fine. Stop with the F.U.D. -- people ain't buying your shi't.

Your "calculations" are only from Amazon's own sales brochure and bullshi't.

The issue is, the deal was brokered by Cuomo and De Blasio without City Council input. This is the focal point of the kerfuffle. Council is livid because they had no say in the deal and probably wanted Amazon to line their pockets with cash. They had their own political interests at heart. That’s all this is

No, L.I.C. is the ONLY place in the city that makes sense for Amazon.


YOU PEOPLE CLEARLY HAVE NO BUSINESS SENSE, no wonder you buy Amazon's sales brochure at MSRP!!!


No serious economist supports corporate giveaways...even Mike Bloomberg didn't support this you, you mug!!!
