Amazon's HQ2 moving to Northern VA and NYC; 2/14: Amazon pulls out of NYC after public backlash!

[AnonymityX1000]

They just picked up a big production company deal in Queens (I recall Robert DeNiro's name involved) and the original plans they scrapped for the HQ2 deal are back in order if I'm not mistaken. Not to mention all of the tech industry fearmongering wound up for naught.

Also, the deal wouldn't have been great for the real estate market.

Breh, there are many COMPANIES that are expanding into NYC. And they are doing it without government subsidies. That was the point.

Most of the money to amazon came from the Excelsior program which is available to any company

NYC's presentation to amazon should have been: here is a swath of land you can buy. and we promise more investments in our people so that homegrown talent will always be nearby; we promise additional investments in our public transportation infrastructure so that all city residents can get to their destination in a timely fashion and we promise to continue our strong investments in public safety to keep our city one of the safest in america. your subsidy is access to a great city you already know you want to be in, so cut the bullshyt.

same for NOVA..

Fux all that amazon needs nyc more than nyc needs them . Amazon is a vulture . Hopefully that bs that amazon did to all those cities does not become the norm
