Yes, incentives bidding wars create an unfortunate transfer of wealth from cities to large corporations. It’s a result of our decentralized government. Any ideas on how to stop it? @Richard_Florida via @nytimes nytimes.com/2018/01/26/bus…

@petesaunders3 @Richard_Florida That makes sense. The other issue is schools. Detroit is great for single millenials, but it's a problem for anyone with school age kids.

@Richard_Florida The fact they they picked three markets in the DC area indicates that it's their preferred location and they are setting up a bidding war.

It was money well spent. #amazonHQ2 forced cities to take stock of their infrastructure and focus on improving it. x.com/MuckRock/statu…

With today's announcement about the #AmazonHQ2 bid finalists, it's a perfect time to look at the proposals that didn't make the cut - and how much they cost taxpayers. Worcester, Massachusetts spent nearly $10k on a promotional video: buff.ly/2DM9CrS #MApoli
