Amazon's Queens headquarters would have been an economic driver and a point of pride for Queens. Instead, Amazon will be just another office tenant in Manhattan. It’s not the same thing. jbarro writes
Photo: Christopher Lee/Bloomberg via Getty Images There have been an awful lot of unwarranted victory laps in the last few days by opponents of New York’s Amazon HQ2 subsidy deal. They point to the new lease Amazon has signed for office space on the West Side of Manhattan and ask, What would have been the point of giving Amazon $3 billion when it was going to do it for free all along?
As I wrote last November, the best arguments for the now-dead subsidy package had to do with its Queens location. New York policy-makers have long had a goal of fostering office clusters outside the Manhattan core.
Amazon’s choice to take incremental office space in Manhattan doesn’t do any of this. The company was always going to need a substantial number of workers here; it just doesn’t necessarily need 25,000 of them, and it doesn’t need them to be in Queens.
