Critics question whether Long Island City, the fast-gentrifying Queens neighborhood across the East River from the skyscrapers of midtown Manhattan, needs such breaks. Median income around Amazon's planned campus is $130,000 a year, poverty is half the city average and new buildings were going up long before the tax overhaul. "All you have to do is look at the skyline from Manhattan. You can see billions of dollars of private investment there already," said Don Peebles, a real estate developer based in New York.
