I think a lot of cities would be well advised to steer clear, Amazon would have a pretty crazy distortion effect. It might make sense in Denver, but I can't imagine them fitting into any smaller city (~3m).
I expect it to end up in a former rustbelt or midwestern city explicitly eliminated in this article in the 'strong job growth' phase. Dallas, Chicago, Minneapolis, Detroit, Philadelphia.
- oh_sigh 9y agoDenver only has 700k in the city itself, and ~2.7M in the metro area.
- jaggederest 9y agoYeah I'm saying that, for example, the effects on Raleigh would be pretty overwhelmed at 2m, if Denver could even handle it at 3.3m. Contrast with Minneapolis at 3.8m, Dallas at 7.3m, and Chicago at close to 10m on the money. I'm using the CSA definitions because I think that's a better way of comparing wildly different cities.
