I don't even live in New York City and the news that Amazon, in the face of local public and political opposition, has canceled its planned headquarters in Queens feels like a victory.

A side note, on the connection between unions and democracy:

There are national holidays, and then there are local or regional holidays that reflect the regional values. So Boston port closes for Patriots' Day. New Orleans port closes for Mardi Gras. And New York port closes for ...Election Day.

And New York port closes for ...Election Day.

Nice.
