In a tweet on Thursday, de Blasio said, “You have to be tough to make it in New York City. We gave Amazon the opportunity to be a good neighbor and do business in the greatest city in the world. Instead of working with the community, Amazon threw away that opportunity.”

Rep. Carolyn Maloney (Democrat-New York) tweeted that she was disappointed that they will no longer have the chance to improve the Amazon deal.

New York City will lose over 25,000 new jobs and Long Island City will not get infrastructure improvements.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Democrat- New York) was pleased that Amazon pulled out of the deal. According to her, New Yorkers defeated “corporate greed and the power of richest man in the world.”
