Amazon is reconsidering building one of its new headquarters in New York City after local opposition, according to a report by The Washington Post...

put it down the road in philly.
probably should have just done that from the beginning. |
It's empty threats, they did the same thing in Seattle when they stopped work on a building.
Amazon is slimy trash, they like playing these kind of games. |

Amazon is playing a dangerous game. At the very least, NYC would be indifferent to Amazon choosing to go somewhere else. On top of that, they will invite even more scrutiny of the process by New York (and by extension national) media.

But I really do hope they choose to go somewhere else.

Put it in Kingwood, TX...
|
Sad thing is this may be justification to reopen up that horrid Amazon HQ2 thread...
|
Should have considered a smaller, more low key metro that is still up and coming like Atlanta or another dominant one like Chicago.

Wow. Can you imagine how all the real estate speculators who scooped up places sight unseen must be feeling right now?

Therefore, besides NY and Washington, Boston/Cambridge is the only other obvious choice. You need either a very large population or a place with universities (preferably more than one) churning out STEM grads who might want an employment opportunity right in the same metro so they don't have to move away. |

The easiest thing would be to stay in the NY area but not in the City. |
