The short list isn't very short... Somerville made it and I'd be stunned if we were chosen.

- theli0nheart 9y agoIt's pretty short compared to the 238 cities that applied (https://www.seattletimes.com/business/amazon/amazon-refuses-arizonas-cactus-as-bidders-for-hq2-climb-to-118/ https://www.seattletimes.com/business/amazon/amazon-refuses-...).
- xefer 9y agoI think Boston and Somerville are just two different manifestations of one regional proposal, though they weren't really presented that way far as I know. The sites in Somerville are actually a much better choice than the Suffolk Downs site offered by Boston. They're a lot closer to the Boston itself and are better situated for housing and transportation. It would also knit together those grim parts of Somerville that are cut off from the rest of the town by Routes 93 and 28.
- autokad 9y agoagree, 20 cities is a lot. i could be wrong, but who really expects LA to make it?
