Agree. I moved here in August and you should shut the gates after me.

I’m voting for China.

Don't know, don't care...just so long as the drones deliver overnight.

It's time to build the wall and make California and New York pay for it.

But we have such great bike infrastructure and plenty of water for everyone!

I'm thinking east of Denver between Denver proper and DIA..Aurora-ish..Not that I think Amazon, them coming to CO, etc is a great idea..CO has the second lowest unemployment in the country behind North Dakota..

I want Atlanta to get it for selfish reasons. Two of the potential sites they are talking about are within a few miles of our house, and we would love to sell high and move out of the city to help fund our early retirement

no brainer..... they should build Amazon in the Amazon !
they could quickly staff up with the largely untapped sloth workforce...

My prediction is Austin,TX. But it will come down to who can bribe them with the most tax breaks. That being said, the municipality will still need to build more schools/infrastructure/etc. And if there is no incoming Amazon tax base, the current townspeople will foot the bill.

Please not Austin...too damn many texting, prematurely-self-assured, trust fund millennials here already!
