Re: ''New Yorkers are freaking out that Amazon's HQ2 could cripple the subway system, but...''

That said, the storefronts along the walkways between the station entrances and Amazon will have insane rents, everyone wants to be the Starbucks/Dunkin/Hipster-coffe-shop along the way thousands of 6 figure young folk will be walking along each morning... and correspondingly a bar for the evenings.

Not sure 25K people approaching on half a dozen different routes is critical mass for that. Take a look at Google Street View for Crescent Street from Queensboro Plaza to the Citicorp building. Not wall-to-wall Starbucks and their ilk. Mostly non-retail frontage.
