Except it's not really just 25,000 jobs, right? It's increased stress on already struggling infrastructure. It's higher prices and increased gentrification in the same neighborhood that has the largest public housing development in the entire country. It's people who will need mail and emergency services and schools for their kids.
All those things cost money. Usually, that money would come from taxing residents and local businesses. But given that we've agreed that the city wouldn't be getting that money, it's not at all clear that those 25,000 jobs would be a good thing.
