- moate 8y agoBy the original definition of the size, magnitude, there will be 0 "HQ2s" until Amazon announces that it's Crystal City location is going to be twice as large. NYC didn't fall for a Foxconn style bait and switch.
- crispyambulance 8y agoYeah but it was clear when they announced "two winners" that this was all an exercise for Amazon's benefit at the expense of the cities. And what is an HQ2 anyway? How many "headquarters" does one need? And what's up with the curious round number of 50k? Was that just pulled out of thin air by some PR dude? Is there any accountability at all for throwing around numbers like that and then reneging on the deal?
