People are conflating anger at the whole HQ2 search process with New Yorkers wanting Amazon in their city.

Most want Amazon in NYC, but (locally and nationally) most are also angry at how the HQ2 shit show went down. Amazon was never going to open an HQ2 in the Midwest or the South. No, Northern Virginia is not the South. The tax breaks are a red herring.
