Leaving aside whether New York should've given Amazon so many tax breaks, @AliciaGlen has a good point here: people saying HQ2 in NYC was inevitable are rewriting history (100:1 is an exaggeration, but not far off) nymag.com/intelligencer/… 
@AliciaGlen Another good point: Andrew Cuomo and Albany gave Amazon all the subsidies, not Bill de Blasio or City Council
@AliciaGlen Frustrating that city officials don't know the subway well enough to speak knowledgeably about it. @AliciaGlen should've said: "The G train is hugely under capacity, the 7 train's CBTC upgrade is almost done, and anyway many will reverse-commute on empty trains from Manhattan"
@AliciaGlen I often disagree with Alicia Glen's approach, but she gives a good interview and doesn't bullshit you: "I understand everybody has to do what they have to do politically, but just, please."
@AliciaGlen Well, she might not bullshit you, but she does occasionally bullshit herself: The leader on affordable housing in the "goddamn world"? "We have fundamentally changed the game"? Please...New York City is not even the leader on affordable housing in the metro area
