A comment on Amazon Reconsidering Plan to Put Campus in New York City. Parent comment
It’s unclear what the difference is without seeing the projections for how long it will take the city to recuperate the $3B.
If the city believes having Amazon HQ2 will generate an additional $3B in revenue over the next 5 years then perhaps it’s a reasonable deal.
If it’s going to take 50 years, then possibly less so.
