1. $3B in "incentives" sounds like a lot, but would this have been a good investment? i.e. would the city and State have gotten a reasonable return in the long run?

2. New York already has a lot to offer in terms of labor market, real estate for employees, and access to capital markets. Did Amazon really need incentives to want to be in NYC?

3. No huge loss for either party. NYC doesn't need Amazon, and Amazon can make the little people dance for them somewhere else.
