LONG ISLAND CITY, Queens — On Saturday, State Senator Mike Gianaris of Queens and local advocates went door-to-door at the Queensbridge Houses to petition against Amazon’s planned HQ2 for Long Island City.
The Queensbridge Houses are the largest public housing complex in the country, and would be in close proximity to the new headquarters.
Sen. Gianaris has been perhaps the most vocal critic of the Amazon deal.
"I don't know why Amazon’s doing what it’s doing, and I don't really care," said Gianaris. "I just know that this is a bad deal and we should not welcome them here."
