This is such gross crony capitalism. It drives me nuts the uncritical repetition that Amazon's going to "bring 25,000 jobs" to NYC. As if the tech industry wasn't already hyper-competitive in NYC. Unemployment for tech workers is nigh non-existent. There are already a surplus of jobs. We don't need this. Google didn't need this for their workforce expansion in NYC. Facebook didn't need it. And hell, Amazon didn't need it for their 5,000 employees already in NYC.
