WASHINGTON - Amazon is rethinking its decision to create an additional headquarters in New York City amid opposition from key political leaders and protests in the community, The Washington Post reported Friday. Several local officials and newly elected Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose district borders the New York site, opposed the Amazon deal. Amazon did not directly address the report but said it was focused on engaging with its future neighbors. It's not clear what Amazon would do if it dropped the plan for New York. "If the Amazon deal falls apart, they will have nobody to blame but themselves," Appelbaum said.
