Every mention, in time. Each mark is a day — taller means more that day — and links to the moment.

Tim’s take

He mostly talks about Long Island City as the site of the Amazon HQ2 deal, walking through the promised jobs and salaries before turning skeptical about whether the subway and infrastructure can actually absorb it 0:46 4:14. He folds it into his broader gripe about gentrification, framing the coming luxury condo boom as the same process that hollowed out Williamsburg and Manhattan 8:53 17:37. Otherwise it comes up only as a real address, once for a comedy show venue 50:49 and once as a passing news mention 27:14.
