Good for the country overall and sends a message but bad for NYC.

Its a prisoners dilemma situation.

I don’t know about you, but every renter in NYC just sighed for relief just now.

IMO the net benefit is greater than the cons for NYC overall.
However the country loses more overall.

Yes, I'm sure AOC's 77% Clinton, 82% non-white, $58k-in-NYC-money-median-income district will be very receptive to a Bloombergist-Bezosist primary challenger.

A poll showed the Amazon HQ2 project was more popular among blacks and hispanics than among whites in NYC. Though how strongly held that support was, I don't know.

Ironically the people let in by Amazon HQ2 would have been more supportive of AOC.
