Amazon hq2 pick? Best guesses?

So the 20 finalists were listed today. Any guesses on who’s gonna win?

I bet on Austin. The rest are either quite expensive (NY fo instance) or do not make any sense.

They have to make some sense if they survived a round with over 200 other cities.

The prominence of Bay Area and NYC tech companies shows that expensiveness doesn't turn companoes away.

Appears to me they are leaning towards the east coast by the shear number of east coast options relative to west

Amazon awkgrepsed Jan 18, 2018

I think at least part of that has to do with the east coast having more cities/higher population than the west coast in general, but also I don't think it makes sense to have two west coast HQs

Also hard to have meetings with India, Israel, S.Africa, etc. From the West coast time zone.
