Good video, might as well use it for every pitch moving forward.

That was my thought as well.

No, it's a reference to a Supreme Court case from 1954 (the apogee of urban renewal), which became an inside joke among land use lawyers.

"If those who govern the District of Columbia decide that the Nation's Capital should be beautiful as well as sanitary, there is nothing in the Fifth Amendment that stands in the way."

I must've skipped over the residency requirement, and funny, the other subforums never seem to care. Guess this crowd prefers to wallow in misinformation and ad hominem insults.

Any updates on the GA Power site? I thought they needed to vacate the property by EOY, but there hasnt been any equipment moved yet.

What does the GA Power site have to do with Amazon?

It doesnt. I posted on the wrong thread.

Mod please close thread.

Street Advocate · #**2090** Posted **Dec 3, 2018, 11:54 PM**

Mod please keep thread open unless we kill all threads of a proposal that doesn’t go through

Besides, people may uncover more renderings or details about our proposal worth discussing in the future. I’d rather it be discussed here than a general thread

Username123 · #**2091** Posted **Dec 4, 2018, 12:12 AM**

Keep it open. Anyone that doesn’t want to read the posts doesn’t have to. More info could come out. We could want to have a HQ2 hypefest reunion in a few years and reminisce on “connecting the dots.”

Atlanta was in the hunt, it just wasn't in their sites (See what I did there?)

Maybe this thread could be left open for the purpose of discussing the Pros & Cons on how New York & Virginia (& Nashville) handle the transition as it relates to jobs, housing, public perceptions, economics etc. & what effect Amazon has on those communities.

It would be just "food for thought" in a way.

Lets keep things real...there are so many people who dream of living in NYC. And so many people in college have aspirations of living in the DC area. IMO, Mott that I personally want to live there, but those are two great choices.
