Amazon's would-be NY neighbors: Cynicism, some hope for jobsNEW YORK (AP) — Shawn Smith has heard the promises before. When new hotels sprang up near the public housing complex in Queens where he's lived for 17 years, residents were told they would bring jobs and economic opportunity. He hasn't seen any of it. So he's cynical about the announcement this week that Amazon will build a headquarters for 25,000 workers on the Long Island City waterfront, a half mile from his home.

Amazon 'scammed' NYC into incentivizing new headquarters, says NY state senator'We're talking about something that's going to cost taxpayers $3 billion.' Democratic NY State Sen. Michael Gianaris said New York City made a 'bad deal' by offering Amazon so much in incentives for its new headquarters in Long Island City. You gotta love big city politics.

Yet, let the big city pension plan vote itself huge benefits like Chicago and then later try to legalize pot and issue billions in bonds to bail itself out. Bravo! U S out of North America Typical New York City shortsighted NIMBY hack. Wants to spend $3 billion on affordable housing, which would need to be affordable by people with no jobs in a city/state with a falling tax base. Business made NYC.
