arent a ton of people gonna move here when ali babba opens in that building downtown? (assuming the person telling me that wasnt full of shit)
seems like 10k more tech workers could probably have a pretty big effect on the rental market
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoAlibaba isn’t going to employ 10k in Seattle, and probably not enough to move the needle on housing. They have about 40 (in Bellevue no less).
- djsumdog 9y agoI thought the poster was saying "Alibaba" to make fun of Amazon. Also I like calling those new buildings The Amazon Testicles.

- senatorobama 9y agoOTOH, Baidu has a successful DL group.
- baybal2 9y agoAlibaba used to own a quite huge office in DT LA, but people in Alibaba I knew said that they never had more than ~40 full-timers and contractors in USA. They came to US for the talent, haven't found it, and mostly bailed the idea.
