The bottom line is that the already overstretched infrastructure, including housing for those employees and public transportation will not prove nearly sufficient. You have subways and buses breaking down or delayed on nearly every trip. You have bumper to bumper traffic sucking up loads of time waiting to move. You CANNOT find a public parking space for your car when you finally get there. Yeah, this is great. Great for Amazon and for their employees. Not so great for the NYC overtaxedpayer.
I totally agree with you! I don’t see the benefits to this. This will drive up living costs as well - can Amazon employees and others afford NYC housing prices?
