Yup, only democrats would complain about 25,000 high paying jobs being created in their district.
"Ocasio-Cortez expressed concerns about the project pushing working-class people out of Queens. She wrote that “we need to focus on good healthcare, living wages, affordable rent” and that “corporations that offer none of those thing should be met w/skepticism.”
The press release says the average job will pay $150k/yr, and the company provides healthcare. Rent should be affordable with those wages. So what’s her complaint? Oh, I know. She wants the government to provide the healthcare, living wage, and rent through income redistribution. She doesn’t want people to actually earn a living from working for a corporation.
I’d LOVE to see some actual data analysis behind the info graphic on “corporate welfare” vs. “cancellation of student loans.” The points on both sides appear to be made up.
“This is like a gift from the gods for the Long Island City condo market,” said Patrick W. Smith, a Stribling agent in the area.
Up until last week, the Long Island City market had suffered from slowing sales and rising inventory. Now, some brokers say the sudden mood shift reminds them of the heady days of New York City’s condo boom just before the housing market crashed during the 2008 financial crisis. “This is the first time in my 20-year career that I have seen the market go from a buyer’s market to a seller’s market overnight, based on a rumor,” Mr. Smith said.
During the first six days since Amazon’s interest in Long Island City became public, searches on the listing site StreetEasy.com for residential property in the neighborhood surged 295% from the same period a week earlier, StreetEasy said. The biggest spike occurred in the first few days after the news, when search volume jumped more than 400%, StreetEasy said.
Real estate broker Teresa Ali faced a frenzy at the sales office for the Galerie, a new brick and glass building going up on Jackson Avenue. Though the building, which wraps around a central garden, won’t open until spring, Ms. Ali said her team met with nearly 100 buyers on Saturday and Sunday. More than 60 other buyers were turned away after leaving their names.
The same building logged 34 visits from potential buyers for the entire previous week, she added. “Multiple offers were on the table” after Sunday’s open house, while four more offers came in overnight.
“It was bedlam,” Ms. Ali, a sales manager at Halstead Property Development Marketing, said. Her team ran simultaneous group tours in English and Mandarin over the weekend.
It needs to be close to talent. Talents are all brain washed so it doesn’t matter where it is. If you build a talent town in Nashville, it will become brain washed over the years. The source of the problem is college. As long as leftists control education and media, mass brain washing can not be avoided. Only the top top talent can retain their own brain and defeat washing
Time for those top talent to build their own Silicon Valley, with their own Facebook google and Apple. And please move out of town to some god forsaken place like North Dakota.
Um, hate to insult any University of North Dakota folks out there, but U of ND is not exactly known for its cutting edge Engineering, Computer Science or Basket Weaving majors…
Well, that is a consideration but I can’t believe UofND would be that much better than what someone could achieve via SFSU. Now, I am basing that on the fact that San Jose State is considered fairly top notch for what it is, so I am thinking the program at a near Cal State school like SFSU would be decent and close enough. Again, every student is gonna be different and have different skills to bring to the table. I am not going to knock someone who stayed home and went to SFSU for say financial or family reasons, but clearly has the skill level to do the job. Everything comes out in the wash: the test you give the candidates. If Mr. U of ND wows me and aces the exam, so be it…
The fact is on the other way, Stanford produced many startups and well known giants in bay area. Stanford is Mother of Invention that spread the tentacles across bay area.
