After looking at the anger spewing remarks on the Atlanta Amazon H2Q thread, I found this there and thought it was a good time for a little levity hence me adding ...for what it is. Somehow this competition for H2Q has gotten a bit too personal, especially among the debaters. And Amazon is just grinning at all the attention they are getting, as if they needed the exposure. I think the way they went about this is bs. I don't recall them doing this when they decided to build H1Q in Seattle. Its a freakin circus by design imo. If I want to build a HQ somewhere. I do the research, pick a location, present my proposal to the city of choice, ask for concessions, and if I don't get what I want, I go to the next city. I don't act like a whore soliciting proposals and may the best man win. Now this is just how I see it.
Its just my simple minded opinion. The only reason I would like to see it happen here is to get some really cool buildings from it. I'm only in it for the buildings and perhaps some cool architecture. Sorry for dumbing down the conversation. You may continue uninterrupted.
