I think the locals were happy they stood their ground and didn't just roll over and be thankful for possible new jobs.  Amazon could have negotiated but they just took their ball and went home.

The majority of those jobs would not have gone to 'locals'.  The local community would have seen an influx of tech transplants to take those jobs.  That would cause an immediate spike in housing costs and a longer term increase in property taxes for people who, in many cases, did not benefit from the arrival of amazon.
