You can’t have an economic model that just focuses on all the positive aspects of a deal — that’s just intellectual dishonesty. What about the negative externalities? The strain on public services, transportation, housing, etc? To be clear, I don’t think either side, for and against Amazon in New York City, know clearly how an economic development like this will affect the region.

(Disclaimer: I work for Amazon, but have no knowledge of or role in this process. Opinions are my own and not of the company.)
