In light of shake-ups at the US Post Office in 2020, this ... smells funny.
"The rumors that I hear, both internal and external, are that we're very seriously interested in acquiring post office real estate. The reason why the post office is valuable to privatize is because of their real estate holdings. They have great real estate in every downtown of every city in the United States. Amazon may be interested in buying all of the post office locations, and we have the cash to do it. So why not?"
- dstick 6y agoThere’s a big datacenter in a post office in LA. I visited it once as we rented bare metal there. Amazing building. So maybe that’s the reason? :)
- khuey 6y agoTrump hates Bezos though so selling the real estate to Amazon of all people makes little sense.

- reaperducer 6y agoActually, it's common knowledge in commercial real estate circles that the USPS is trying to unload prime downtown properties. Chicago's Old Main Post Office (so massive that it has an interstate highway running through it and 18 train tracks under it) was recently redeveloped for a bunch of tech companies.
