50,000 new non-McJobs as well as the follow on service jobs is no benefit to the local population? Tell that to all the non-silicon valley mini-tech hubs like Austin, Seattle, Miami, Dallas, etc. If amazons foothold is the seed for a new techhub to emerge, that's a true net boon for that city and its people / culture.

- OrwellianChild 9y agoWhen attempting to counter an un-alloyed good like "50k new high-paid jobs" with potential negatives, can you please be clearer about the alternative outcome you desire? I can't tell from your objection whether you: 1) Support the 50k jobs, but want extra effort to be taken to support existing populations/communities 2) Prohibit the 50k jobs so things can stay the same 3) Let the 50k jobs go elsewhere so they're not a local problem 4) Something else entirely that I'm missing
