That’s kind of a mischaracterization of why Amazon left: it looks like people were getting ready to oppose their plans and introduce bureaucratic roadblocks. Why take a PR beating for an unsure thing that looks increasingly likely to fail, and become the center of a political circus? That’s definitely not NY doing it’s end of the proposal. A business needs stability and safety to plan and grow. It’s unclear why Amazon would want to fight NYC to be in NYC after NYC threw up roadblocks to NYC’s proposal actually happening.
