Creating jobs that don't exist for people who currently aren't residents (or don't yet exist) is the very definition of economic progress. If you don't want that then you just want nothing but the status the status quo unchanged forever. You can't have it both ways.
- CGamesPlay 9y agoI'd agree with you if you removed "for people who currently aren't residents (or don't yet exist)" from the sentence, but leaving it in there means creating more inequality than economic progress.

- bogomipz 9y agoThe OP has clearly stated that their concerns are corporate welfare going to a company that most certainly doesn't need a handout and a further disruption to an existing housing problem. And you have decided to reframe their concerns as being "against progress"? Also please point me to this formal definition of "economic progress" you are stating.
- ashelmire 9y agoI can absolutely expect a company not to need massive tax breaks to come to my city, and to have a plan for housing. If Amazon were to come to the Northeast part of the city and with a plan for development of housing and supporting services, that would be great. But in all likelihood, they will just crowd our downtown and popular areas even further.
