Amazon HQ2 NYC woes – turning into a political battle

I think this context is important:

"To some extent, Amazon may already have support, albeit with reservations. A recent poll showed that 60 percent of registered Queens voters were in favor of Amazon moving into their borough, although 78 percent thought that New York City should be more involved in the process."

While there has obviously been far more vocal anti-Amazon outrage than shows of support, it does seem like most New Yorkers see it as a good thing. But nobody is going to go out there and protest for Amazon.
