They would have come here without public money. Blame Cuomo for negotiating this deal behind closed doors.
No, they would’ve gone to manhattan for free. They never would’ve came to Queens without subsidies. You guys don’t know how hard it is to get jobs here.

We’re not rich like Manhattan or trendy like Brooklyn.

WOW. I stand corrected!

Who was behind the move? I read somewhere Blasio was thinking about running for President. Is he trying to demonstrate his anti-corporate welfare bona fides?

Long Island City is trendy. You know how much it is to rent out there or buy land? You missed the boat if you didn't buy a decade ago. More and more corporations are going out there because it is affordable compared to Manhattan and you can still commute out there via the G/7/E among other lines.
