Get that stupid fucking number out of your head.
The previous World trade center had 50,000 people in just two buildings.

If you think 25,000 people is a big number in NYC then you probably live in a corn field.

Dude, 25,000 people making high dollar salaries that weren't there before DOES make a difference in that area of New York.
I live in Las Vegas, not a cornfield.
And as I said: those 25,000 people with high salaries are going to SPEND money in that area. And that is money that is NOT there now.
And the businesses that will service those people will thrive and hire new people creating new jobs.
And then THOSE people will also be spending money.
And on down the chain. For every action, a reaction. And with job growth it's a positive thing.
I saw the same thing happen in the Upstate Of South Carolina when I lived there.
BMW built a plant between Greenville and Spartanburg in the late 1990's.
The entire upstate was hurting economically because it was primarily a textile area and huge plants were shuttered across the region as the textile industry moved to China.
BMW came in and revitalized everything.
The town I lived in was Greer. It was a dead little town. After BMW it now has a revitalized BEAUTIFUL downtown area full of bars, restaurants and shopping.
It changed people's lives for the better all the way around.
Amazon would have done the same for that area of New York.
And other companies would follow if given the proper tax incentives.
New York is fucking itself with high taxes.
