NEW York City is officially throwing its hat in the ring to lure Amazon.com Inc's proposed second headquarters, hoping its large, diverse workforce, extensive university system, big-city living and status as an epicentre of industry will overcome its major drawback as one of the country's most expensive housing markets.
