The folks who have signed this open letter don't represent average New Yorkers. I live in New York, yet no one ever asked me how I felt about this Amazon thing.
This should have been put to a popular referendum. Present the people with three options:
1. Invite Amazon to NYC for free.
2. Invite Amazon to NYC with subsidies.
3. Do nothing.
My gut tells me most people would have voted (1) as an affirmation that Amazon is ultimately free to come to NYC or not, with or without the subsidies.
