Amazon leaving Seattle update

Amazon has transformed south lake union: 12 million square feet of office space spread over 40 buildings since 2010. It has built a brand new urban campus. Both amazon and Seattle need to end the reliance on each other. A second campus in another city is the best thing for both. This has nothing to do with Seattle’s anti-free market policies however. Amazon’s Seattle corporate presence and its 30,000 Seattle employees aren’t going anywhere.RedRocket said:The employee tax is FS stupid and Amazon is sending the right signal with this move. Amazon isnt leaving Seattle though. They've invested too much into developing South Lake Union and they are hard wired into the Westin Data Center which is a major internet hub that you just can't pick up and move somewhere else. HQ2 will pick up employees that Seattle doesn't really have room to accommodate.

I like to call workplaces 'campuses.' That's what I like to do, because I'm a retard like that.

The goalposts keep moving. From Day 1 I said that HQ2 was subterfuge and it is
Boeing would never leave Seattle either
You keep electing morons and this is what you get.
Office space is office space and data isn't locked in a safe anymore
In fact office space will be like a buggy manufacturing plant in 20 years. Who works in an office anymore? Poor people? -
Oh and microsoft would never move to India either

It was a sad day when they started building 787s, 777s, and 737s Chicago office buildings that are now obsolete.RaceBannon said:Sure.gif

Who is surprised by this? @GrandpaSankey could have spotted this move coming from a mile away.
My sources tell me that this is also not a political bluff to deter the Council from approving the tax. -
Mutually adjacent office buildings situated for the purpose of a promoting an enterprise. Food courts. Child care. Dog parks. Entertainment. “Spheres” for out-of-office time. All along the same neighborhood streets. 12 million square feet of space and more being built. 30,000 employees in a handful of square blocks. Yeah, it’s a campus. Just like oregon’s but far larger and way more successful.oregonblitzkrieg said:I like to call workplaces 'campuses.' That's what I like to do, because I'm a retard like that.
