The slogan for the bid should of took cues from Mercedes: The Best or Nothing

Its exciting for the area if or when it manifests.

I can see a nice boom occur, and hopefully it will provide the ammo for pushing transit expansions.

I think when we were talking about this in the past, Hudson Yards would of been the choice, but it came as a suprise to see LIC in the news. As much as I like LIC, I was like "really!??" in a surprised fashion.

But goes to show how much the area has improved. I remember what the area use to be 5-6 years ago. The transformation has been nothing short of incredible.

On the plus, it will further increase the motivation for certain projects to rise. Places like Astoria Cove and the Greenpoint expansion could cater to some of these employees.

I'd hope to see a spike in rentals in the pipeline neighborhood wise. Not to mention the healthy boost in what I'd imagine would be retail.

25k folks long term is a nice addition, and business will benefit around the area. Further raising the standard.
