I don’t really understand why so many people (including the Mayor) thinks Amazon wants to come to Austin and fix the city’s problems. I think they would love to redevelope a rundown/abandoned part of a city like what you would find in Pittsburg, Baltimore, DC or Detroit. They talk about those kind of improvements in the RFP as it relates to Seattle.
Btw, I met someone from Seattle that was convinced HQ2 is going to Pittsburgh. She is in the business community there however it wasn’t anything close to inside information. It was just Surprising.
