What services will cost more for the city? Public transportation will have a ridership subscription boost, property values will go up for local owners, service businesses will have ~25k more potential customers...
- drugme 8y agoWhat services will cost more for the city? The usual costs per new resident (that property taxes are normally earmarked for) perhaps?
- elamje 8y agoI understand your concern about pulling the numbers out of the air, but I think the commenter above made a stronger case for those numbers than you have with the "cost" numbers. Just a thought to consider
- jowiar 8y agoFor some cities 25k is a big deal. For NYC it’s rounding error. NYC is big enough to have a healthy relationship with Amazon, and part of that is knowing is that you’re the seller, not the buyer.
