The vast majority of these jobs of which you speak were projected to go to non-residents, whose relocation would expedite the gentrification of the neighborhood and force many current residents to relocate.

I wanna say a special thanks to you, many elected leaders did a LOT to help the community fight with Amazon. But it was you who was in the room of the organizing group day one.
