He's saying the tax breaks provide create no gain for the city, but he's not disputing they're valuable to Amazon.
They're also not valuable to taxpayers, who are being forced to subsidize one company without the opportunity to voice their opinion a priori.
Finally, there's the incremental point that countless other entrepreneurs are not enjoying these same benefits. Not the biggest issue with it, but an important one nonetheless.
