A better deal would have been not paying 48K per job and still getting Amazon to NYC.

An equally good deal would have been not paying 48K and getting Amazon elsewhere in the US. I mean, not for NYC, but for the US as a whole it would have been equally good.

The race to the bottom is lined with "good deals"...

And an even better one would have been free ponies for all and rainbow shitting dinosaurs. Also wasn’t on the table, however.
