The city all but told him not to let the door hit him on the way out, demanding that he move from Brooklyn to Queens or get nothing.

No tax incentives, no sales tax increase, no partnerships, nothing. I had no idea that O'Malley tried to stay; I thought he simply decided to make more money out west.
