While New York's Democratic state governor and mayor are delighted, critics fear it will accelerate gentrification in a city where affordable housing is increasingly rare and have questioned the size of the tax breaks offered to a company headed by the richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos.

According to New York officials the combined incentives offered for the Queens site total nearly $3 billion, including both direct grants and tax breaks and commitments to improvements related to the project. In Virginia, the package reaches some $2.5 billion according to The Wall Street Journal.
