Is Amazon's Headquarters 2 going to be a huge economic boom for the city that gets selected? They are boasting 50,000 jobs to whichever city they select (i.e. gives them the largest tax cuts/puts them in the most strategic position). Is there any reason a city would not want this?

The US is a big country. I still believe that splitting up into different states is a very real possibility in the future.

Don't kid yourselves. Their top five is KC, STL, Louisville, Memphis and Nashville. All of them are centrally located areas with cheap land and great logistics, which are the only things Amazon cares about. They're not going to buy into some big city when they can build whatever they want in some field far away from anything else. Out of those five, the winner will be whoever swings them the best tax deal. Memphis itself is America's largest cargo airport, because it's where Fedex is from. That is what Amazon is aiming to compete against, especially when they're starting to do most of their trunk logistics themselves with their own aircraft.

>Is there any reason a city would not want this?

It's going to be a huge corporate campus and probably a huge distribution site. This means a massive amount of new car, train and air traffic. Some cities, specifically San Francisco, do not want that and are not capable of handling such an increase anyway.

Austin would be nice but realistically the HQ would get more out of the North Dallas/Frisco area. Austin just doesn’t have the infrastructure and space to support it. You’d think with UT Austin the talent pool would be strong too but most of the senior engineering talent and positions there work in systems and hardware, and much of the people working in software are young and working at small and medium startups. All the best software talent goes to SF.

>Is there any reason a city would not want this?
Where Amazon goes, traffic and inflated housing & rental costs go. While it may not be as drastic, when Seattle became home to Amazon HQ to 2010:
Home Prices went up 97%
Rent 66%

The highways already can't accommodate the traffic, there's a shortage of 1 bedroom apartments (thanks contractors), and obviously this starts pouring out into the metro area.

I can't imagine how much cities and states have already spent on meetings, pitches, just to be considered, then you add ridiculous prizes to lure in Amazon in. Boston is offering an "Amazon Task Force" of city employees who work on the COMPANY's behalf. Chicago offered to let Amazon keep $1.32 billion in income taxes, paid for my its own employees.

I think >>6652214 is on the money, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Austin get it, partly for the image, but also it's Texas,there's room to spread for miles.

It is going to make house pricing boom which will benefit the top echelon of Amazon employees, the vast majority of their lower level jobs will employ people who at best will be able to "afford" housing at least a 30 min commute away from the HQ.

I doubt this will be the case for a few reasons

>Outside the U.S
Amazon would fare much better gaining a bigger stronghold in the US before expanding internationally

>SJW takeover
Toronto is infested with SJW's. Seattle already has a similar political climate. If Amazon wants to stay competitive, they should choose a city that's less similar.

>Google
Google already has massive plans to reshape Toronto into a giant ass, internet smart city. Competing demographically on that scale would be political suicide for Amazon.


I am inclined to think Chicago only because IL state and Cook County government are such shit and on the brink of a complete melt down. This gives Amazon a prime opportunity (no pun intended) to swoop in and take complete control.
