    Amazon teased their "second headquarters" scheme in such a way as to elicit fealty from desperate localities all over the country and demonstrate corporate dominance, only to choose NYC + Northern Virginia, the centers of political and financial power. Incredibly sinister.

        they got reams of secret economic analysis data from all the cities in the bids that will give them an asymmetrical advantage in business planning (As a few other people keenly noticed). No more hidden data for Amazon release it all

        By using this location-scouting scheme, Amazon amassed insane amounts of metadata on the regions it surveyed.

        Classic Amazon. Announce a "product" before it's built and use reaction data to shape theinimum viable product. Lots of v.1 bugs in beta...

        It was incredibly disturbing to watch municipalities (including my own) bow and scrape to try and woo their corporate overlords. It's just icing on the cake to watch them choose the two of the most elitist, already over-crowded, and over-priced locations in the entire US.

        They went to find people who would move but they only found 15, even after adding huge signing bonuses. Just can’t pay people enough to head up there.

        They picked one location to be close to their biggest client. Not that hard to figure out.

        In my hometown of Rochester local companies used to do this same thing. Oh, I'm not sure I can build this profitable location that is key to my business plan unless I get x tax break....it worked like a charm. The bigger problem is that local governments are suckers

        Might be mistaken, but I think I read that the final locations were within 5 miles of Bezos owned homes.. Not sure if that doesn’t apply to any point on earth tho..

        Yes exactly, and neither of these locations had to give Amazon a dime, as they'd have located there anywhere.
