Just what we need to make rents go further through the roof and adding further to traffic congestion and street closures during construction.

Next San Francisco here we come.

Luckily, we will probably not get this. I'd say we are in the bottom 5 in terms of chances of landing it.

"Los Angeles" could also be Irvine, which played for it hard too.

Amazon ain't dropping an HQ2 in California. Apple isn't dropping their HQ2 in California either.

That would be the equivalent of shoving billions of dollars into a furnace. Makes zero sense.

LA could really use the well paying jobs Amazon will bring. I hope they pick us (I wanted my hometown Houston but they were bounced out in the first round). Traffic can't get any worse than it already is.

Traffic can always get worse. Rents will soar through the roof further.

I hope they stay far away.
