Amazon trims field to 20

As in, would be bulldozed? Wow.

 

Yeah, they have big plans for that whole area if Amazon comes.

 

I don't know if we'll land Amazon's HQ2, but we did win one recent competition:

 

Dallas can’t handle what it’s got coming now as it is already. They can’t build houses and roads and schools fast enough. Throw in another 50,000 jobs. People will have to commute from Oklahoma soon.

 

Was disappointed to see that Connecticut’s two contenders from my area, Bridgeport and Stamford, didn’t make the cut. Then again, Bridgeport recently re-elected a mayor who spent years in prison for corruption, and the former mayor of Stamford, Dan Malloy, is currently the worst governor in the country. I’m gonna keep my eyes on this Amazon; they seem smart and might have a future.

 

It’s going to take some time, once the decision is made, for a headquarters/campus to be built, and filled with 50,000 workers.

 

I believe the figure cited here was 5000 jobs a year for 10 years.

 

Yeah, I’d imagine this would allow for cities to ramp up and meet the housing and infrastructure demands.

 

Whew! Your humble correspondent dodged a bullet there!

Arlington out of bid for Amazon HQ2

 

Thank goodness! I cheered when they cut my 'hood loose during the first cull.

 

I thought that when Arlington voted to build a new stadium for the Rangers there were already redevelopment plans for the old park. What, if anything, is being planned?

 

I think they have some loose ideas, but nothing set.
