I saw several articles that said 25,000 at an average of $100,000 per job. Either way, most of the higher paying jobs will go to people outside of the community and it will drive up costs for current residents.
Do you not think that 25,000 Amazon jobs will bring even more jobs to the area? I've read that they would avg at 125k at Amazon.
Not taxing 3 billion in year one to net 27 billion in tax revenue over 20+ years in short sighted.
NYC needs to diversify its tax base away from wall street and real estate. Setting the city up as a tech corridor in the northeast made a lot of sense.
Now we can still run deficits, have shitty infrastructure and public schools, have homeless living in subways and the streets, and spend billions each year on homeless housing. Things don't need to change at all.....
