NYCHA tenants in Queens who were hopeful that Amazon’s new headquarters would mean jobs for public housing residents on Friday excoriated the liberal activists who helped bring the deal crashing down.

“We were shocked because we had just left the meeting where we were moving forward with Amazon’s reps,” said Claudia Coger, president of the tenants association at the Astoria Houses. “An hour later, it hits the news that Amazon was pulling out. We were really in shock.”

“At first, I thought it was a hoax but then it became a reality,” Coger added.

She was one of four NYCHA tenant presidents in Queens who signed a blistering statement that attacked two top local politicians — state Sen. Mike Ginaris and City Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer — for leading the opposition to the project.

“They put petty politics above true public service and they spread misinformation to whip up the small band of opponents,” the statement said.

Residents of the Queensbridge Houses — the NYCHA complex closet to the proposed Amazon campus — said they were looking forward to jobs Amazon would have brought.

“My nephew works for Amazon and, so far, so good,” said Shantel Brown, 56, who has lived for six years in the Queensbridge Houses. “I think depending on the qualifications and the people who get the jobs it could help with the crime rate and keep people out of things.”

Seventeen-year-old Angel, a local high school student, mourned the Amazon loss but could also see why the project evoked such fierce criticism.

“I think honestly in the long term it would’ve been good, it would’ve be beneficial,” he said. “The gentrification does bring people with higher income here which would have revitalized the community. However, people who are not in that income bracket they get displaced and that’s the worry.”
