  • The news comes just weeks after Amazon dropped expansion plans to New York's Long Island City for part of its "HQ2."

Amazon is cutting back on its expansion plans in its hometown of Seattle, GeekWire reported Wednesday, two weeks after the company abandoned plans to build part of its second headquarters in New York's Long Island City.

Seattle-based GeekWire obtained a marketing flier that said Amazon is seeking tenants for all 30 floors of office space it has leased in what will be city's second-highest skyscraper. All of the space will be leased to other companies, GeekWire reported, citing the flier and conversations with commercial real estate agents.

NY ain't serious about getting Amazon back, if they were they would already called up their homegrown "Begging for One More Chance Laureate".


They would've already had Keith Sweat, Live from Times Square on the mega screens singing the classics......they ain't serious :camby:

Lefists, especially far leftists typically have zero clue about business, nor have common sense. That's just a fact. They are emotionally driven and can only think at an elementary and emotional level. New York will be right there will CA in terms of cess pools in a decade.:manny:.



AOC gets too much attention from the right, but she highlights the typical clueless liberal that hates big business and those that provide jobs. The want everything for free without doing shyt. She'll be a big reason that the Democrats struggle in 2020. When you don't understand what a tax break is, you shouldn't be in the House.

NY has Wall Street and big businesses there already. AOC and the fools think (don't actually think) like here will be the reason NY gets brought to it's knees if fools like her get their way.
