Geez. This is like the IOC choosing where to hold the Olympics. Just choose a fucking place and quit trying to wrangle concessions out of people there.

Northern Virginia will likely be it and I do not look forward to it.

Get ready for prices to go higher than they already are around here. Discovery Communications left Silver Spring so those headquarters are ripe for the picking in MoCo.

Why Newark is in the running is beyond me. What a terrible place. Nice airport though.

They offered a ridiculous amount of tax breaks.

They're building a brand new and hugeeeeee warehouse in Staten island.

NYC seems logical, but the taxes and cost are probably way too high compared to other major cities.

We're big time!

We also gave em no tax subsidies though. So they probably won't come here, but it'd be nice to get 50k jobs added, and a 5 billion dollar investment into the economy.


T Dot is a serious dark horse. I would not rule it out, I'd even call it top 5

People are sleeping on it because it's not in the us
