What a brilliantly capitalistic move. Amazon pretends to have a huge, one-locale supply of high-paying jobs and the promising ecosystem of economic activity around that center, and the demand is huge from cities. What if they grow into the next SV or Seattle from this?
Once the cities agreed to the deals with such growth prospects in mind, and given the huge demand from other cities, Amazon bait and switched these saps. They get to have their cake and eat it too, NYC and DC, non-HQ2 premises, but just satellite offices. Well, that could have been done without the theater, though the buzz was tantamount to free advertising for them and ratcheted up all the incentives.
