Amazon narrows the list of metro areas for its new headquarters to 20

[Leasy]

On the list the only two areas with excellent transportation and an airport is the New York area and Philly. Boston seem too small and far away from everything basically a Seattle again

What would that matter breh.
LA has one of the most intricate 24/7 bus systems in the world. But I'm not sure why that would matter because how TF rides public transportation? It's Cali breh. LA is Logistics Hub for the world. IDK about the rest of the cities but the only reason why LA wouldn't get it is because of Taxes.

Well for one this was one of the subjects on Amazon wishlist and having a mass transportation system is a plus in a city of over a million. I mean Philly NYC DC are all two hours a part on train or driving. Providing their employees options to commute to work via transportation is better than driving breh. No matter what they going to the east coast.

Logan is supposed to be one of the worst airports in the country and idk where they could build.

I doubt NYC gets it. Idk where they can build(land or money wise as funny as that sounds)either unless the state makes the Port Authority sell the docks in Redhook. LIC would be another option I guess. Some professor proposed more infill like the Battery City expansion which was interesting as well.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

After the Eagles get their rings,shyt is definitely going to Philly



But hold up who's Amazon paying 100k a year?
The techs?Delivery drivers gonna fill most of those jobs and they ain't pulling that much bread

The best option seriously would be Philly but I don’t know what Amazon is thinking. It’s the cheapest and fastest growing city on the east coast between Boston DC and NYC with some of the richest surburbs in the country.

No this is not blue collar jobs these are high price executive associate type jobs office jobs at first. As they expand you will see those delivery jobs and shyt.

Whatever city gets this deal is taking the L. Amazon is playing the entire country over 50K jobs. Mayors are sucking dikk for that contract and all Bezos has to do is say, "yeah, you MIGHT get the lead role, now how bad you want it?"

The concessions cities make as it is already don't make up for it. All they do is distribute the burden to everyone instead of the new company paying it's fair share of taxes. Your local taxes will go up, local prices, rent, etc. This won't be a good deal.

Yup. Amazon is just playing these cities/states against each other to see whose willing to take it up the ass the most.

Sad thing, is these cities/states wouldn't dare make these sort of infrastructure investments/incentives if amazon wasn't coming.

This shyt is crazy. Cities bending over backwards to hell the richest man in the world avoid taxes.
