@jerrysaltz This is how we are going to fingerprint immigrants. I mean if they stay, I get to put my fingerprints on them wherever I want.

#AmazonHQ2 may be the wake-up call cities need to create jobs by encouraging start-ups. @SteveCase: A memo to the cities Amazon passed over https://t.co/4dDo11khBW via @FortuneMagazine

Yes, incentives bidding wars create an unfortunate transfer of wealth from cities to large corporations. It’s a result of our decentralized government. Any ideas on how to stop it? @Richard_Florida via @nytimes https://t.co/MgsRBGCzM3

In many places the issue is economic opportunity not affordability https://t.co/6xkmbhUNtn

[Pete Saunders @petesaunders3]

Why I say the affordability crisis isn't applicable everywhere. https://t.co/f0wGc51Ovr

[Mitch Wasterlain @mwasterlain]

@petesaunders3 @Richard_Florida That makes sense. The other issue is schools. Detroit is great for single millenials, but it's a problem for anyone with school age kids.

Who needs #AmazonHQ2 ? Detroit has a velodrome! Can't wait to go watch a race. https://t.co/aDpjoI3mp5

[Mitch Wasterlain @mwasterlain]

@Richard_Florida The fact they they picked three markets in the DC area indicates that it's their preferred location and they are setting up a bidding war.

[Mitch Wasterlain @mwasterlain]

Attention all #amazonHQ2 runner-ups! https://t.co/ab4dYMcZir

Apple unveiled plans that would bring back the vast majority of the $252 billion in cash that it held abroad and said it would make a sizable investment in the United States https://t.co/MdYlomujZc

[Mitch Wasterlain @mwasterlain]

Looks like they are headed to the DC area, with 3 of the top 20. Disappointing that #Baltimore is not one of them. https://t.co/LlGRT74HCP

It was money well spent. #amazonHQ2 forced cities to take stock of their infrastructure and focus on improving it. https://t.co/Sn1Z7YM7su

[MuckRock @MuckRock]

With today's announcement about the #AmazonHQ2 bid finalists, it's a perfect time to look at the proposals that didn't make the cut - and how much they cost taxpayers. Worcester, Massachusetts spent nearly $10k on a promotional video: https://t.co/dwIJWFW3Zr #MApoli

[Mitch Wasterlain @mwasterlain]

#amazonHQ2 was a cohesive effort for Detroit, regardless of the outcome. Now let's build a transit system and get the next one. https://t.co/rxzOxYLAiW via @CurbedDetroit

[Mitch Wasterlain @mwasterlain]

The bright side of #AmazonHQ2 hysteria: showing cities that attracting jobs is not just about tax incentives. https://t.co/p59KbyDbq3

Innovative auto companies are moving to #Detroit. It's all about talent, suppliers, and cheap real estate. https://t.co/UpduBBtt5I via @CurbedDetroit
