If skyscraper-studded Manhattan is hostile to businesses, I am really curious what a city friendly to businesses looks like....

  It's possible the studding of skyscrapers occurred before the hostility, right?

    Sure, but Manhattan is not a ghost town either. The usual crop of employers is present, there's certainly no surfeit of supply on the commercial real estate market, etc. There are cities with mostly-empty skyscrapers and overly ambitious commercial centers. NYC isn't one of them.

      For the past 24 hours I've been a bit befuddled, like "Amazon would have brought sorely-needed employment to [checks notes] New York City."
