[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]Atlanta lost out on HQ2 for the same reason all the other cities lost out, because Jeff Bezos always intended it to be in DC and was milking the other cities for sensitive economic data for free and to also see if he could get freebies that he could use to force NOVA to give him something similar.

Is there any actual proof of this? [/quote]

Come now, you're really questioning that Bezos was serious about any other city? [b]It was bleedin' obvious[/b] he was gung ho on DC from day one, with possibly a second headquarter in NYC. [/quote]

So bleedin obvious in the real estate forum that there were no less than a dozen threads in 2018 stating there was NO WAY D.C. would be a HQ2 pick?

Yeah, no.

I firmly believed in D.C.'s candidacy but I also am not blind that most other cities thought they had a good chance and I think Atlanta has a great chance before their representatives blew it threatening a major corporation.[/quote]

Err... there were many more threads saying he was definitely coming to DC..... all the clues heavily pointed towards DC due to existing investment, his cozying up to the Fed over IT services and billion dollar contracts, buying the Post and buying a fancy house here.

I think the real answer is that Bezos privately always had DC region as his first choice but was willing to look at other regions if they could bribe him enough. But they couldn't/didn't, so it was DC here we come. [/quote]
