Amazon is pulling out of its plan to build a new headquarters in New York City.

The plan has always been controversial. Activists, local politicians, and unions railed against the back-room negotiations between Amazon, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and Mayor Bill de Blasio. One major point of contention? Nearly $3 billion worth of corporate subsidies—which are deeply unpopular but fairly common in modern politics—in the form of tax breaks and grants. If the deal progressed, the city and state would’ve essentially paid Amazon $48,000 for each of the 25,000 jobs promised. Another? The fact that Cuomo and de Blasio could find common ground to move this deal forward, even as they’ve struggled to come together on other issues.

Now that the deal is dead, what should New York do? And what if those leaders could collaborate more? We’ve got a few ideas.

1. Fix the subway

Stations are quite literally collapsing.

2. Fix the subway

It always feels like rush hour congestion.

3. Fix the subway

Trash is problematic.

4. Fix the subway

Signal delays are snarling commutes.

5. Fix the subway

Accessibility is abysmal.

6. Fix the subway

The system is facing huge deficits.

7. Fix the subway

Stairs are deadly.

8. Fix the subway

Countdown clocks are wildly inaccurate.

9. Fix the subway

Platforms are overcrowded.

10. Fix the subway

Delays are too common.

Editor’s note: This post originally joked about redirecting the $3 billion in subsidies that Amazon would have received from the city and state. Those subsidies would not be directly transferable to another project, and we have amended the article to clarify the financial relationship. We still think the governor and mayor should focus more of their attention on fixing the subway.
