Jeff Bezos won’t be taking the subway to Amazon’s planned new headquarters in Queens.
New Yorkers, take note: While you commute in dilapidated and decaying subways, know that Jeff Bezos will be able to rely on a more upscale mode of transit to get to Amazon’s forthcoming New York City headquarters in Queens.
That’s because New Yorkers are buying a helipad for Bezos, the richest man in the world.
Buried in the 32-page, $1.5 billion agreement between New York’s various economic development agencies and Amazon is a promise by the city to help the company secure rights to a helipad on, “or in reasonable proximity to,” the company’s new site in Long Island City.
===============================
There's also a helipad included in the Arlington, VA HQ2 site.
There's something desperately wrong with this picture when taxpayers are underwriting the cost of luxury transportation for very rich people.
