Google announcing they <WANT> to double their presence in New York is not the same as Amazon signing an agreement of understanding with the city and state.

Google hasn't committed to anything. Once it does, it will most likely seek the same tax benefits that Amazon did from the pre-existing programs if it qualifies

What are we discussing here? Yes, Google wants to hire more people in NYC.

In NYC there are are tax incentive plans for relocating and hiring that companies can apply for if they qualify. Just because Google doesn’t include that portion in their announcement does not mean they won’t pursue it if they can.

A good article would be one where Google states it won’t take any tax incentives even if it qualifies for it.

I was only responding to the claim that Google had made no real commitments.
