I think the reason Amazon had to announce their search publicly is because their HQ2 project is so much bigger than Apple's or any other company's. 60,000 jobs

I think the reason Amazon had to announce their search publicly is because their HQ2 project is so much bigger than Apple's or any other company's. 60,000 jobs is not something you take up lightly, especially as it relates to transit and housing. It's the equivalent of a small city, and you're going to need to be prepared for it.

Plus it's a way for cities to start a bidding war, offering the lowest tax rates and property prices. Effectively Amazon will get their new HQ for free, if not have the cities actively pay for it. Because jobs. Free market, competition, etc, yay.
