Indeed. The announcement and the mundanity of the finalist cities was pretty shitty to all the smaller towns Amazon insinuated could be in the running. I live in on the finalist cities, but I also have good friends in a nearby regional hub who made a good faith effort. It would have been one thing to tell them "We didn't select you." It's something different to say "We're still considering cities, but definitely not yours."
