### Comment:
So how can HQ2 every be justified if it will have negative effects on renters in the area? Are you against all forms of urban development that would lead to higher property values and thus higher rent? It makes me think of [this](https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2014/04/trader_joes_portland_mayor_cha_4.html). I just think that viewpoint is so shortsighted. The ways in which you could apply that viewpoint is dangerous to our economy.

There are less than 10 economies as robust as NYC. Moving this to other areas is a less bad idea assuming they don't get huge tax breaks. NYC has limited space and strained infrastructure already. They don't need 50k more jobs.
