Without stating my personal opinion one way or another: let me tell you that as a local who lived in walking distance of where the HQ would have been, the idea that locals generally supported Amazon was entirely untrue. jrichlive/1099468701839945729Permalink On twitter.com

I spend a lot of time walking, eating and drinking in LIC, Hunters Point, and Sunnyside and I heard a lot of people talking about Amazon and it was never positive. More so, I know for a fact people did indeed take off work to protest.Permalink On twitter.com

Once again, not stating my personal preference here re:Amazon in NYC, but I think Amazon made a tactically sound decision. Every day at a LIC HQ2 would have been a heavily covered PR disaster of angry protesters, displaced residents, and pro union organizers. They were ready.Permalink On twitter.com

I mean no insult to the press in Seattle or SF. But it's nothing like the attention Amazon would have gotten in that situation in NYC. To many national news orgs that are local and can have a lazy day covering protesters.Permalink On twitter.com
