Hopefully that head tax in Seattle causes Amazon to consider the benefits of affording housing as a more important factor in their search (given they are actually searching, and they don't already have a location in mind). Chicago, with dozens of square miles of abandoned and underutilized neighborhoods, really would not have the same type of housing crunch that Seattle is experiencing with Amazon. Sure, prices will go up, but there will always be fringe neighborhoods getting redeveloped that will have cheap land and affordable rents.
