That's not a fair summary of the problem. It's more accurately described as :
"Everyone's costs will increase, and since I don't own property, my costs will increase even higher than most others peoples costs rise"
It's totally rational to not want to take a paycut, and Amazon HQ2 will effectively be a massive pay cut to every non-Amazon person in whatever city Amazon uses for HQ2
- pc86 9y ago3/5 people in Atlanta rent so his costs will increase no more than other folks (who rent). I get the affordability argument, but the Atlanta metro area is 5.79 million people. If you add 50k jobs and everyone is from out of the area, you get 5.84 million. Is that really going to double everyone's rent? Lots of people already in Atlanta will work for Amazon. Lots of people who move in will buy a house in the suburbs because they don't want to live downtown.
