Amazon to move it’s second headquarters to Queens.[update 2/14 : Amazon cancels its plans.

Bezo and Trump are cool

Amazon is definitely going to be facing an antitrust suit from the Trump Administration

Long Island city is beautiful but dead so this is well needed.

I’m already about to fill an application for any finance jobs they’re offering

I’ve been dreaming of this moment.

Jersey and Philly aren't exactly attractive areas for Fortune 500 companies to set up shop to begin with.

North Jersey isn’t?

Nyc doesn’t demolish or sell its projects so Queensbridge will be fine.

Hasn't*

When you see that whole Astoria/LIC corridor become the new Williamsburg, Queensbridge is gone.

Watch them raise the rent on you nikkas to drive you out so they can hire nothing but cacs to work that bytch.


That's some next level gentrification

I wonder what the max will be cause apartments in LIc are already over 3K a month but the beauty of LIC is that 3K a month gives you a 5 star hotel like building compared to just a crappy apartment in Manhattan with no amenities.

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

that's kinda dope, even with how expensive it is?

people move to NYC literally every day b

 

[AB Ziggy]

North Jersey isn’t?

Already said the reason why in my previous post.

 

[TRFG]

LIC is not a black neighborhood like that tho... Except queensbridge...

BE DUMB BREHS

When you see that whole Astoria/LIC corridor become the new Williamsburg, Queensbridge is gone.

With the demand of housing and people who are poor it would be foolish to even do that but even Williamsburg still has projects and none have been demolished or sold till today.

But you know what there is a project in Williamsburg that is mostly filled with Jews lol

Caclanta lost

Lmao

I'm just thinking of how to benefit from this in terms of opening a small biz serving some needs of these folks that will be moving/coming into the area due to Amazon. Even just the influx of traffic will be interesting

 

[UberEatsDriver]

That's real stupid if it's true. NYC is overcrowded and overpriced as it is. Why would they put their headquarters in Queens? Bad move. NYC needs to tell them hell no.

Facts put them in Newark lol. shyt Newark has the Path train that can get them geeks over there lol

 

[UberEatsDriver]

Do I need to move to NYC? I promise I had a dream just the other night

Where do you live now?

 

[zerozero]

Nas lost

Nas' venture fund already had a big win selling to Amazon (Ring)... now they're even closer to his HQ

You bugging. Queens has everything Amazon needs

-Space ( Queens is massive land wise)
-Real Diversity ( so many educated black people here)
-Other Fortune 500 companies ( Jet Blue and Coca Cola vitamin water division)
-Two major Airports ( LaGuardia and JFK)
-Close access to manhattan using the 7 train.

NYC goes get a W for diversity. I met people from Silicon Valley who are amazed at how diverse the tech jobs in nyc are
