Google Plans Large New York City Expansion

There is more demand for working in NYC than is currently met by existing tech offices, that simply isn't the case in other metro areas.

The real problem is that Google is choosing to expand in the neighborhood they are currently in, where the same applies to Amazon should the Long Island City rumors be true. Regional transportation infrastructure already prioritizes midtown and the financial district, and there are tons of distressed areas regionally, that still certainly do benefit from a growing economy all around.

St John's Terminal really isn't the same neighborhood as Chelsea Market. It's little over a mile to the south.

I must've overlooked that part, that doesn't seem too bad actually given that it's about a half mile from the christopher street path stop.

I'd hope they negotiate a ferry (maybe NY Waterway) from Hoboken, PATH is fairly crowded already and that Christopher St stop is a one–exit nightmare.
