I still remember the circus around HQ2 and how so many politicians (most prominently AOC) were dragged in the media and online forums for not bowing down to Amazon and being "anti jobs". Since then Amazon has leased a ton of office space in NYC (including a large chunk of Hudson Yards, which is the priciest new development) and is expanding its presence in the city, all without the $6B+ in subsidies that Virginia and other states/cities across the country promised them. Funny how that works.
