This type of tax incentives should be illegal. A lot of people argue that NYC still benefits from this deal, but we should not be thinking at a city level. But a country level, does the country benefits from this? No. Has these type of incentives been illegal, Amazon would have to pick a city from the US and the overall US economy would be 1.5 billion richer. The problem with incentives is that presents a "prisoner dilemma" to cities. And overall drives taxes down. Sorry for my English.
