Agreed, but I think we would much rather have these problems and the Amazon jobs rather than no Amazon jobs.
There are so many communities across the US that have much bigger problems. Like lack of jobs, population loss, budget shortfalls, unsustainable public pension benefits, opiate epidemics.

For many, giving up some taxes from a company that isn’t currently there is a no brainer.
