first of all, that 25 k figure is speculation...but let's go with it anyway....those 25 k jobs would have cost the city $3 billion in tax breaks.
despite it's $11 billion profit in 2018, amazon wouldn't have paid a single dollar in taxes for education, police, fire fighters, infrastructure, or health care.

that $3 billion would be better spent on NYC infrastructure projects, and all the jobs those projects would create. the city could also pay the teachers, nurses, cops and fire fighters a more reasonable wage.

and most importantly, amazon isn't going to walk away from NYC. without doing any research whatsoever, i'd wager that NYC is one of amazon's most profitable regions, and they've already stated that they're still going to create jobs there.
