The decision comes amid a flood of criticism from some state constituents and officials since the company announced it planned to come to New York last fall https://finance.yahoo.com/news/amazon-abandons-plans-for-new-york-headquarters-165803277.html Amazon said in a statement Thursday that it is abandoning plans to build a headquarters in Long Island City, New York.
Wow
New Yorkers are the dumb
They’re smart for not forking over 3 billion to Jeff
That’s like saying I’m not buying a house cause I’d have to get a mortgage at 4%
Damn. They sent me coding assessment for NYC too.
They're still hiring a ton. Just no tax break for a big building
They should have done Miami.
I don't blame the citizens for balking at the massive incentives Amazon was being offered. They are still free to open another office there without any tax breaks, of course There is no way that deal was going to pay for itself.
Just like extreme right politician are idiots, same goes to extreme left liberals. Congrats  extreme left liberals you successfully blocked the prosperity and growth from coming to Queens NY.
Prices surged in the area like crazy, and now all those who paid premiums are fucked lol.
Break up with NYC. Stay in SEA with male engineers lol
Lol Breaking up on Valentine’s Day too ...
