> to extract subsidy for what Amazon would do anyways

I don't think they would. Big infrastructure in New York is expensive, financially and politically. Without Amazon's pressure, there is no way the new campus would have been developed, hooked up and approved as quickly as it has been.

No way? Google will have nearly as many employees as Amazon in NYC and as far as I know they didn't get special subsidizes.

They said they would build somewhere. The only question was which USA city.
