Given all the secrecy, I’m unclear how much of what’s been promised has even been revealed at this point, nor how much the final deal could alter things.
It seems like Amazon always intended to go to New York, to the point where they turned down better offers elsewhere, so presumably the city could offer them a much less sweet deal and still get them to move there. Assuming that’s what New York decided it wanted - I’m skeptical that bringing in one large company is such a good idea, after seeing big giveaways to corporations locally - lots of resources put into a deal with one company that then changed its mind, causing the loss of everything. Plus, it’s New York - plenty of other companies would like to be there.
