Jobs for whom? Not the vulnerable members of New York, jobs for upper middle class yuppies like you or me or nearly anyone on this site from the rest of the country. People in Queens aren't stupid, they know what the impact of Amazon would be and how it absolutely would not benefit them.
And almost certainly because of this struggle, the next City they try and go to isn't going to give them nearly as sweet a deal. They will demand more. Struggles like this are effective.
- SpaceManNabs 8y agoThanks for saying this. People are forgetting the effect this move was going to have on locals. I am very dubious of the Queen's polls saying things like 70% approval. A dear friend of mine does social work and volunteering with inmates and was telling me how all their families were scared as hell at getting priced out.
