Amazon Didn't Pick My Home Town For HQ2 ~ Is That Good Or Bad?

As a matter of fact, they didn't come anywhere close to California! Let alone Los Angeles or my sweet Santa Clarita Valley.



Amazon’s HQ2 is expected to bring 50,000 jobs with an average salary of $100,000 over the next 15 years, plus more than $5 billion in investment over the span of 17 years.....and some are already complaining about what it will do to housing and infrastructure in those communities that were the winning bids.

Because, it did have quite the effect on Seattle. Home prices rose at a significantly higher rate within 5 miles of HQ1 vs. further away communities.

Well, no kidding. 

When location, location, location is what it's all about, and, all of a sudden your location becomes more desirable....prices will go up more so than other neighborhoods.

Infrastructure? Here's to hoping there are some new schools, roads, shopping, and restaurants are planned around HQ2. Without that, those communities that are on the sidelines will likely be hurt.

Thoughts? I'd love some opinions on this one & if you live near me....did you want HQ2 here?
