[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new FBI headquarters saga is a good example of how bad things are in Maryland.[/quote] Also Amazon, people will downplay its impact but it was pretty clear when Amazon looked at this metro area they wanted to be in close-in NoVA, not DC or MD. Also Boeing, they moved their HQ from Chicago last year and picked NoVA. Also Nestle, picked NoVA. Meanwhile in the same timespan MD lost Discovery (which to be fair wasn’t doing well anyway so not MD’s fault) and had to fight to keep Marriott’s new HQ in MD. Big company HQs aren’t everything but there is a clear pattern here. I work with startups in the area and most of them choose NoVA as well.[/quote] HQs location doesn’t mean much. What matters is where jobs and opportunities are. Many companies have their HQ in the Caymans Islands. What is even more important is where people want to live. And it’s not always next to factories or office buildings.[/quote]
