> But in recent years, as Seattle’s citizens begin taking Amazon to task for its role in driving urban inequality, and city leaders push to account for this cost with higher taxes What the hell? Maybe also mention as house prices rise so even Amazon employees are complaining about how hard it is to buy a house, and rents go up so that even Amazon employees start to think twice, and the number of local potential hires shrinks...(devs in Seattle who don't currently work for Amazon but would like to do so, as opposed to those have already quit or would never touch it) But no, of course these aspects, the fundamentals of "can I hire people to work here and how much will I have to pay them", are not relevant.
