Totally agree! 50,000 people making 100k+ per year is a lot of taxes, it will increase land values. Please come to my city so my house can double in value. Hm...
I'm hoping not, because I'm enjoying cheap rent in a metropolitan city (Chicago). I don't want to compete for rent with even more technies than already exist with, esp. when Amazon is going to pay above market wages.
Yes and no. Chicago has been really good at wooing companies to move their headquarters here: see Boeing, McDonald’s, ConAgra, GE transport, Kraft Heinz, the list goes on.
