> not in a city with a resurgent left.

IRRATIONAL left. This investment on the part of Amazon gave way way way more to the city than it got back in subsidies.

It's kind of ridiculous. If I were Amazon, I would drop NYC in a heartbeat if they didn't appreciate that degree of investment.

The subsidies were 1.525 billion. Amazon's investment was expected to be around 2.5 billion. Only an irrational fool cannot do that math.
