Sorry,I didn't see this until now.

Thanks for the response! I had misread your second point, thinking "housing crisis" was about prices being too high.

For tech companies: a huge number of major tech cos have offices in NYC. Most of them even have engineering offices. The ones that come to mind are Facebook, Google, Uber, Microsoft, eBay, Etsy, palantir, AppNexus, and yes, Amazon has offices here already.

I don't have any insight into the tax revenue issue, and I suspect that may be worse this year with the federal tax cuts. (I think there is some state-tax interaction, but I may be misremembering or misunderstanding)
