Amazon could be facing a New York-style backlash in response to its plans for a massive second headquarters in Virginia. A December poll showed 68 percent of Virginians approve of the Amazon deal, while 30 percent disapprove. The "For Us, Not Amazon" coalition has spent weeks canvassing in those communities and has found the overwhelming majority of residents they've spoken to do not support the Amazon deal. Amazon's plans for the Crystal City neighborhood would see 25,000 jobs created over the course of 12 years with average wages of over $150,000. If the Arlington County Board approves the package, Arlington would give Amazon $23 million over the next 15 years.
