[/quote]

Because it is nice and affordable. [/quote]

That's why md is the richest state. Even its worst county is superior than 50 percent of Va's counties.

[/quote]

Maryland has 24 counties. Virginia has 134. Hardly a fair comparison. Also NOAA HQ is in Montgomery not PG County just like National Archives HQ is in DC not PG County. But carry on. [/quote]

+1. I love how all the Maryland boosters said having to cross a bridge was so awful - how it made Virginia "so far removed" from DC and the rest of the area. It's like they'd never seen rivers in Brussels, Buenos Aires, London or Hong Kong. But now that Amazon is coming to Crystal City, suddenly it's "Oh PG is gonna benefit! We're right over the bridge!"  :lol: [/quote]
You do realize that this thread was started by someone in VA, right?  But carry on with your  MD bashing so you can feel good about yourself. [/quote]

Not sure I see any bashing here. PP simply pointed out the inconsistency in the argument that some people don't want to commute over the bridge from Virginia to DC, yet expect Amazon workers to buy in PG so they can commute over the bridge to Virginia. I happen to like parts of Prince George's, but man are the folks here overly sensitive to any perceived slight. [/quote]

+1.

I bet a dollar not a single Amazon worker chooses to commute from PG.

That'd be frankly stupid for them -- they are not exactly government workers with plenty to time to kill, ya know?[/quote]

Market studies have already been done, many workers will live in PG.

You sound really ignorant and racist, why not live in PG? [/quote]
They literally just said it’s about commute.
LITERALLY.[/quote]

Would the commute really be that long though from PG to Pentagon City or Crystal City since Amazon will spread offices between those areas, as "National Landing".  According to Google it is like 40-50 mins via train from PG Plaza or West Hyattsville to Pentagon City or Crystal City.  It will be less if they expand Yellow Line service to Greenbelt.  People commute that far in their car from as far as places like Stafford so why would people not be interested in a train ride where they wouldn't have to worry about the stress of driving and could still have access to affordable housing?[/quote]

You're literally crazy.[/quote]

How am I crazy?  I want to hear this one... :roll:

In fact my roommate does this commute every day now and I also used to work in Arlington.[/quote]

Easy.

Neither of you have any chance at getting hired by Amazon while planning to commute 50 minutes each way.

You're literally crazy.[/quote]

You know this how?  You can't find a good argument so you throw out insults.  You sound like a very smart cookie, keep up the good work there buddy.

Maybe you are jealous that I along with other people living in PG County got good deals on our houses and aren't sitting in traffic or spending an arm and leg on our mortgages.  I think that maybe real issue here.[/quote]

I worked in Amazon and....you're literally crazy.

Seriously, you have enough data right in front of you and you still ignore and make up some random BS.

Like, who should hire you?[/quote]

Not PP. but...saying "literally crazy" and "like" make you sound unintelligent.  It's bad enough when people say "like" all the time, but to type it out?  [/quote]
