Rent averages about a third of that and a dead man could find a job here in Dallas/Ft Worth.

Ewww, but Dallas/FW is full of icky conservatives and cowboys.

Just stay away from the City of Dallas, it’s becoming “Austinized.”

But but but it's so convenient! And usually everything in one place. Anyway, I don't like their politics either. But I shouldn't have an iphone - people can't believe I've never had a cell phone. If I were to buy one, I would want an iphone but I don't like what goes on at Apple either.
I do buy other places if I can find a better price and free shipping. But I need to quit spending on anything but essentials. Now I want a new crock pot. Walmart has a nice one on sale for $13+ but to get free shipping I'll have to order $35 worth which I can at Walmart, just am sick of their dented cans, etc. And their coffee I like is much cheaper in the store.
I don't like Bill Gates particularly either. Don't know why they are all leftists. I do think about it especially since Bezos bought the Wash Post which is such a downright evil paper politically.

Don’t be surprised if Amazon picks DFW. We have a LOT of corporate headquarters here already.

"Its a classic poisoned chalice. Many of those jobs will be filled by outsiders, from out-of-state and out-of-country. They will relocate to the new area, much like they did with Seattle itself, and will contribute to turning the area hard-blue (again, just like Seattle)."
Poisoned chalice indeed. Seattle was already blue, but what Amazon did was trigger a massive increase in traffic and housing congestion, the cost of housing, and homelessness. As someone who's lived here all my life, I will benefit from that (my mother's recent passing left a house that has doubled in value in the past eight years), but I pity the younger people.

Texas has no state income taxes. Somewhere in Texas should win. Denver already is a 100% democrat political machine and has got all of the bells and whistles that Amazon requires. How do you place 50,000 people into one single area?...50 ten story buildings with 1000 people in each building?? Staggering to imagine.

My bet is on Charlotte, NC. 850,000 population, decent college town, and has an international airport on the east coast.

Austin-
It’s already a leftist shiite-hole.
Kind of a non-fraternal twin?

Perhaps I am a purist. However feeding the beast is one way to end freedom.
I do go to amazon to window shop, then use their information to find sellers and then find their deals on their website.
There are many companies who sell for 5 to 30 percent less at the sites than on Amazon. I get all my books through Alibris which sells used and new WITH shipping for less than Amazon.
If you are the saving and savvy shopper you say you are, you will look around a bit.

No way it is 50,000 six figure jobs - just saying.

Isn’t that a $50 billion dollar a year payroll?
