My response was to QuinMill claiming that the Amazon news is a non-issue there, which is far from the reality on the ground.
He has become completely dismissive of Charlotte and Atlanta recently, and has convinced himself that Nashville has suddenly been catapulted into the premier Metro between D.C. and Texas. It's ridiculous, and deserves to be challenged.
Yeah the comments by that particular poster about other cities compared to Nashville are always rather juvenile. Every city has its boosters but rabid boosterism combined with putdowns of other places undetached from reality will always derail threads.

Don't pay him any attention. He just tries to start stuff. Amazon is a big deal for Nashville, but not in the way some are trying to make it. There have and will be more companies making announcements, Amazon is just one part of the big picture.

Cities like Atlanta, Boston, DC and Dallas have projects that make that complex look dwarf in comparison. A lot of people in these cities didnt want Amazon because there was a plethora of development already happening. I cant peak for Atlanta, Dallas or DC .. but I know Boston has too much going on right now and an increasingly scary housing crisis. Almost glad Suffolk downs didn't get this, so now the development can see 10,000 new housing units. Since the Nov announcement, 3 major companies have announced relocation of HQ here, Wayfair announced a major expansion and Amazon/Verizon/Google/Boeing&Apple&CitiGroup all leased atleast 75% of a major building U/C. HQ2 would have done more harm then good here. Also Miami has that Skyrise Miami, so that comment really doesnt hold true.
Nashville Im glad to see get this, because its such a dynamic, growing city with a great downtown and nightlife scene. Im rooting for more companies to get pulled here because its such an awesome city.
I'm glad too. Nashville will have a very busy 2019. The city just added three non-stop flights to Providence, Portland, and Los Angeles. Amazon executives call Nashville the perfect fit. They like how Nashville stands out from the pack.
