The only criterion is money.  How many qualified employees can Amazon get.  Housing costs, schools, etc. are not important.  That is corporate spin.  Amazon is going to land in Crystal City 90%.  All Bezos wants are 20 and 30 something educated employees, and proximity to the world's power center, Washington, DC.  Bezos is already expanding AWS in Loudoun County be a few thousand employees. HQ2 is not going there as well.  DC is off the list.  [b]Maryland regulations turn off Bezos.[/b]  Bezos wants a east coast time zone as well.  There is so much wishful thinking, but the decision was made the moment the search for HQ2 was announced.  People who think vulture billionaires like Bezos cares about housing and schools have not been paying attention to Seattle.  He does not, has not, and will not weigh any factor other than talent and location to DC politicians. [/quote]
? How do you know MD regulations turns off Bezos?  Most of these big high tech companies are in blue states, those with more regulations, like WA, CA and NY.[/quote]
