Yeah, my thoughts exactly. They need a metro area that can not only supply all those workers, but also absorb the huge demand hit to the local housing market. They aren't looking to replicate the same situation as Seattle, where they are now enacting punitive head taxes on companies like Amazon to help ease the housing crisis there. Chicago literally have miles and miles of inexpensive housing. We can take in 50k over a decade without wreaking total havoc to the housing market. Few cities in the US are large enough and with housing values moderate enough to be able to do that.
