"Dimon said. “But the 25,000 jobs, what people don’t understand, it’s going to be another 75,000 outside of that. Because when you have a company move here, they need people who prepare meals and clean floors to engineers to marketing people to lawyers to accountants to service that whole ecosystem."

for references, Arlington has only 200k people[/quote]

Yes, I think there will be more than 25,000 jobs over the next decade. The Amazon leads on the project confirmed that many other companies will come here (I believe one mid-sized company has already announced). They also said that many startups companies are birthed from Amazon employees, so obviously more jobs...[/quote]

Exactly. I coulda swore that I once read that Amazon and the Amazon effect of allllll of the startups and support companies surrounding the area to support amazing were actually nexpected to bring in another million people.  100,000 jobs =\= 100,000 people, because those people have spouses and children too.  Probably good for current home owners.  Terrible for cost of living and future want to be home owners. Also terrible for traffic and schools.   This area will turn into Seattle or SF soon enough where there will be zero character and everyone will either be a consultant, a lawyer or a techie. I dunno if I want to even stay in the area. If traffic and affordability keep getting worse there is very little reason to stay.  SF and the Bay Area has turned into an unlivable albatross.  A horrible place I can't stand to go to.
