Minnesota. Budget surplus, tons of F500 companies / large companies to recruit from and a strong university system, with lots of other states to draw from, being the largest city in the area, save Chicago.
- ryanmarsh 9y agoThis is one of the most likely locations I've read of so far. Minneapolis, Austin, Boulder in that order.
- mkempe 9y agoDenver possibly, but absolutely not Boulder. Boulder is a complete failure when it comes to transportation -- no light rail connection to Denver's system, although they collected sales tax for years claiming that was going to finance it; also, adding 50,000 new workers in a city of 100,000 would simply crush the existing infrastructure. Plus the local city council has been on a quixotic quest to confiscate electric utilities (distribution without production). The local developers have been giddy for the last few years that Google is bringing one thousand workers there, that's how strained housing already is.

- relaunched 9y agoIt's also very affordable, with public transportation.
- relaunched 9y agoAmazon has a small, but growing technical office in Minneapolis, as well as a DC in the suburbs.
