the problem in SF and Seattle is that people don't have skills to get those jobs.People are pretending it will somehow be different than San Francisco, Seattle, etc.
Get the skills.
Get the jobs.

Add to that those NYU and Columbia Grads aren't from here either..... shyt neither are the majority of SUNY students.
Nap, why don't
You mean the industries that hire largely from top 25 MBA and Law School programs? Yeah good luck getting a gig on Wall Street with a state school degree especially at the graduate and professional level.

i don't have an issue with where they hire from. top tech, finance, consulting, law and top F500 general management programs are always going to be selective, that's the game.
my beef is them, and others, who act like these jobs were going to boost hiring in the local community (it won't) and then on top of that throw billions in subsidies to them under that ruse. if amazon just straight out wanted to move to NYC and put their own money behind this new campus, i wouldn't have an issue. it's the finesse move they're trying to pull that's the problem
nah man...you can get jobs in finance from local schools in NYC.Nap, why don't

This is not true. Trust me. Only government and public service law jobs would consider a non Ivy League law graduate.
there will be MORE local jobs than there were before. Thats the point.
Some of something is better than none of nothing.
Of course a majority of jobs wouldn't go to local people. Why would they?
Do these locals have the skills in demand? If they do? They get the job!
You've proved in this thread you don't know what the fukk you are talking about. We won't tell you about Mumbai, you don't tell us about NYC and DMV.
i'm not indian. stop acting like some immature fukkboy and grow up when you address me son. Stay in your goddamn lane.
YOU don't know what you're talking about.
I've conceded that Amazon should have renegotiated but this is a net loss for NYC.

Bro I don't understand how cats are not seeing this???People are pretending it will somehow be different than San Francisco, Seattle, etc.
Places that have long become places of diversity and culture will be torn down in favor of the evergrowning expansion of the monster known as big business
These people then get displaced to areas that MIGHT have a lower cost of living but also have a lower quality of life, shyttier services, and zero sense of community
Motherfukkers are trying to destroy what made these cities great in order to bus in people who don't give a fukk about it beyond what money it can provide them.
This shmuck Nap has no idea what it's like to, just on a whim, read the reviews for a local cornerstone of a neighborhood and you see all these little gentrigrifters with their "Oh so overrated...no idea what the big deal is about this place..."
Motherfukker go back to where you came from

But would the split be worth 3 Billion in subsidies and increases in cost of living for large swaths of the city? Not one study exist showing that the Amazon Deal actually benefits the public.

Without a subsidy then this wouldn't be an issue. Amazon has every right to buy that land if they wanted to at full price. What fukked it up and got everyone pissed was them demanding money and tax breaks from the Government to do so.

then breh, they should not receive all sorts of land grants and tax breaks...wtf are you arguing about? it's that damn simple.

Amazon shouldn't have gotten tax breaks...but nyc losing the jobs is stupid and naive.
