Amazon is a liberal and very urban oriented company. Even if they choose a suburban location, it will be more urban than anything in Kansas.

It takes about ten minutes and the internet to understand both of these topics.

You honestly think Amazon would even consider JOCounty? They probably won't even consider KC,Mo with that airport and the fight it's taking to get it upgraded.
I didn't say anything about Johnson County or Kansas in regard to Amazon. I did quote from a link that said Amazon said they want acreage and that urban wasn't a requirement. So obviously what people "think" Amazon wants isn't necessarily what Amazon wants. Obviously you aren't going to find acreage in an urban area. I didn't make any comment at all about Jo Co vs KCMO or Amazon coming here at all. I don't think they will. Based on their requirements, they definitely aren't going to come to downtown KCMO. All I have ever said about Amazon prior to this is that they probably would never choose St. Louis because of the recent protests there and the past protests in Ferguson. It doesn't make it a very attractive place.


I don't troll anyone. I have been trolled, though. Just as recently as yesterday and today. But when KCMO spouts crap about Johnson County/Kansas just for the sake of putting it down, I will call him on it. Why are you trolling ME? I have a right to respond to kcmo's rants. I haven't even visited this forum much lately.

What they can't stand is truth. That's what you're known for posting, and it encroaches on their perfect little urban-progressive bubble. So they try to shut you down any contemptible way they can think of....this time charging "trolling". It's pathetic. So much so that's it's comical.

Thanks, CrownVic. I'm glad you're still here!

Twin Cities are better across the board.

Urban may not be a requirement, but according to the published bullet lists I've seen, good mass transit is.

KC has some catching up to do in that department, but given how traffic moves throughout the area, it's a low-priority item for the region.

Depends on the urban area:

Schuylkill Yards

The Navy Yard

Both of the above sites have the capacity to absorb the total square footage Amazon seeks to build. Were it to choose the first of these, it would probably enable that project to be completed in much less time than its backers currently project.

These sites are among the reason Philadelphia lands on a lot of Top 5 lists for Amazon's likely choice. One analysis I've read put it first; most of the others land it in second or third place. It also gains because of its distance from Amazon HQ and its location in the Northeastern US.

A respected and knowledgeable analyst of the Philadelphia real estate market who gives great quote told me that all this is pretty much a charade, however, and Amazon knew where it wanted to go from the outset - what it's doing is trying to see how many goodies it can wrangle (and presumably get the intended to fork over a bigger dowry as well).

Where it will end up, this guy said, is Texas.

This is not "obvious" nor is it even true.

Granted, a prime downtown location is not likely to have acreage. But there are tons of large urban projects that take the place of abandoned rail yards, industrial districts, decomissioned freeways or waterfronts. These all have acreage to spare.

Edit: I see now that MarketStEl responded to this with better detail than I could. Kudos.
