Thanks, have done. What do you think are biggest parallels/differences between this and NY/Amazon situation?

automotive manufacturing jobs in 1992 look very different than the bifurcated urban labor market of today. Minimum wage service workers (that are seeing lower upward mobility than in prior generations) and their elected reps rightfully have a lot of ?s: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/11/upshot/big-cities-low-skilled-workers-wages.html …

obviously not. I'm saying if a big co like Amazon comes to Queens, they need to be really smart about engaging and thinking through what's in it for low-income residents/service workers. They failed at that, so they got what they got.

it's also not a general point. If you read the NYTimes, it specifically describes an economic change over the last generation where cities used to provide upward mobility to low-income workers and now they don't anymore.

I'm sorry I don't understand your comment. What do you mean by uniformly dumb? David Autor's work is about how the labor market is separating and leaving low-skilled workers behind in cities.pic.twitter.com/qxg3KVElWJ

the macro-politics aren't the same as the micro-politics. Amazon failed at the micro-politics. Cuomo isn't beloved by NYC-ers and they didn't proactively engage with the borough and neighborhood until it was too late.

until elected leaders of that particular borough can credibly demonstrate to their lower-income constituents that they'll be included in jobs and won't be displaced, then it's really hard for those constituents and reps to support deals like this.

I see your point but curious how you square that view with public support of amazon in queens by minorities?
