[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4136892, member: 58386"] One of the fears and with good reason was Bezos would chase away affordable housing and in doing so chase away many residents native to that district and lived there all they're lives. In fact outside real estate speculators were already jumping in and buying up all the rental properties that could be upgraded to premium rentals to accommodate the high salaried engineers and executives Bezos would be bringing in and of course at premium rental rates. When the deal was called off these greedy expletive deleted's went crying to the media about the fact that they really didn't want the properties in the first place but only on the news that Amazon was coming and the prospect of converting them to upscale properties with rental rates nobody who had lived there all their lives could even begin to pay. This was a well covered story Newf and you couldn't blame the people of that area for fighting back because there was nothing in the deal for them aside from being forced to find some place else to live at prices they could afford to pay....Good luck finding that in New York City.
