#2Good, Amazon shouldn't be getting any subsidies just for having their offices in a city.

They probably found a better deal somewhere else.

#5A shame. As an employee of a Big N company in NYC, this would have provided upward pressure on my salary (even if personally I wouldn't want to go work for Amazon).
But I didn't like the big tax breaks, and as a taxpayer of the city I'm glad my money won't go towards subsidizing the expansion of one of the world's most valuable companies.
It's too bad Amazon wasn't willing to pay their fair share.

#6Google didn't need any dog and pony show or significant forms of corporate welfare (that we know of) to announce a doubling of their presence in New York.
