its not our of thin air...but i'm saying think of it as a thought experiment...one day de Blasio wakes up and some wealthy benefactor has given the city 3B to play with...what is the best use of that...i don't think giving it to Amazon is...i saw an estimate that the subsidy is over 40K per job that Amazon would have created...that seems pretty steep to me...not a good return on 3B
