I was really hoping for Raleigh and/or Dallas. Instead, Amazon picked two places where the cost of living is worse than Seattle.

- tjbarkley 8y agoYeah, but some of the CEO's houses are in these two areas.
- amyjess 8y agoAs a Dallasite, I've been hoping we won't get it because it would send our housing prices through the stratosphere and ruin traffic for a generation. From what I've seen, the reaction to this news on /r/Dallas is very positive. We don't want Amazon here. (Though I figured it was going to be NoVa from the start. I was just terrified I'd be wrong.)
- akhilcacharya 8y agoI'm from Raleigh but I"m not convinced Raleigh-area schools have the talent required and willing.
- electricslpnsld 8y agoThe Triangle has a number of good schools: Duke and UNC are both in the top 25 CS programs in the US. I've worked with some NCSU CS grads in the past and they've also been great.
- akhilcacharya 8y agoDuke and UNC are tiny CS programs. I went to NC State, and it's definitely not in the same tier for undergrad.
