San Francisco: Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders are taking a victory lap after Amazon.com Inc and other technology giants leased millions of sq ft of office space in New York City – without the billions of dollars in government support that Amazon tried to negotiate earlier this year.

Amazon signed a lease last Friday for 335,000 sq ft in the Hudson Yards neighbourhood, enough space for more than 1,500 workers. The largest US e-commerce company said it wasn’t getting tax benefits or other incentives.
