Long Island City's housing market would likely experience 'whiplash'

Activists and some politicians cheered Amazon's cancellation of its plan to build a second corporate headquarters in New York, but others said the decision will kill 25,000 new jobs, erode future tax revenue and make it difficult for the city to attract companies in the future.
