A lot of folks like to think the loss was just Amazon, but it was way more than that. But yeah, less involvement from AOC when it comes to adding much needed supply and jobs to the area, the better.
I think as a person, she means well, but when she interjects her ideas into business and economic growth, terrible things happen.

You seem like an economic horse with blinders on. That's all you can see. Skylines, buildings, Amazon, jobs, etc... just like Juan Trippe saw aircraft routes, and Pierpont Morgan saw smart investment (shame about the horse and cart, but he was a dick anyway)… very unimportant things in the big picture that is sea level rise and climate change. NY is facing a disaster when the water comes up, and more poeople in the city isn't the answer. NY will suffer and losses will be greater than any Amazon.
MOAR BUILDINGS: yawn, more LIC boxes you mean with no design merit. A sea of what would be dull condo towers catering to boring techies would have nothing at all to get me excited.. no loss.
AOC could be the savior of NY. Green revolution could basically stop the coming floods.
