[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 3954987, member: 18225"] A different way to think about that is why wasn’t the local populace involved in the decision making process? Top-down nonsense from the Governor and the Mayor... It’s not just the alleged ‘windfall’ of a potential tax-base increase; if there’s no room for 25,000 workers in Queens, 75% of which won’t be making $150K but will instead be making $15/hr, those ‘new’ workers won’t be living in Queens anyway. So, at the end of the day, the city was going to subsidize Amazon to overburden the already taxed transit system, wait in vain for a payoff which might be two decades coming, and be happy about it? Why is any municipality subsidizing companies like Amazon anyway? It’s crap. (Google just built a gigantic campus in NYC, spent a Billion, no tax breaks or nonsense, huh) [/QUOTE]
