What?
If Amazon wanted a strong transportation system they could have demanded some of their tax break went towards that. They did not.
NYC is already the second largest tech hub in the nation, as well as a global leader in a wide variety of industries.
If anything, Amazon moving in, and this I doubt, would have made it less affordable than it already was to live here.

- mcny 8y agoEven now the upside people are apparently angry at Albany for being too focused on the city. It makes no sense to me. This is clearly not true and yet everyone panders to those people. NYC population is 08.6M NYS population is 19.85M Just the city is forty percent of the population. If you add the surrounding areas, you'll be a majority (I think they'd want things done in the city). How does the city not have better representation in the state assembly? How does upstate keep getting away with swindling the city?
