According to The New York Times Wylde was among the prominent New Yorkers, and one of the primary movers, in the follow-up letter to Amazon, asking it to reconsider its decision to not build Amazon HQ2 in New York City (and it was her group which paid for the ad that was placed in the Times). She felt that the handling of the Amazon HQ2 situation, had left the reputation of NYC tarnished as a place to do business. In reference to New York City's proposed ‘Pied-à-Terre’ Tax on Multimillion-Dollar Second Homes, Wylde has indicated that she does not think the proposed tax will be well received by the business community, further she suggested that such a tax — combined with the recent tax code change that capped the amount of local income taxes that can be deducted on federal income taxes — might push the wealthy to reconsider living in NYC.In response to Mayor Bill de Blasio announcement of a new paid vacation day requirement, Wylde commented: “The New York business community got no heads-up on this ‘national first’ announcement, so apparently we are not the audience being addressed, although local entrepreneurs will certainly be the victims”
