I wonder if that's due to cost of living. Seattle is expensive. Palatka Florida? Not so much.

- beisner 9y agoIt’s not due to cost of living, most of the software engineers straight out of school (in my cohort, at least) want to be in NYC or SF. Amazon does the bulk of their recruiting from new grads, so a large contingent of their workforce is disincentivized from working outside those areas.
- Rapzid 9y agoPalatka stinks. Literally, it smells. Unless they shut the paper factory?
- virmundi 9y agoThey haven't. But you get use to it. Besides, one of the main draws is eco-tourism. If done right, we could have eco-houses for the Amazon folk.
- Rapzid 9y agoInteresting. I hope to get a chance to visit the area again before too long. My entire childhood was spent in Keystone Heights; right up to adolescence when we left Florida. Wasn't sure if I was mis-remembering the paper mill :)
