Horrible choice
Fake news
It's not April 1 yet
Hell no. My money was on Toronto, Atlanta and Brooklyn in that order.
Toronto, Atlanta and Austin in my mind. Close deadbeef
I was split between Austin and Brooklyn. Jeff has a house in NYC so it made sense but then again, Whole Foods is in Austin and Texas has a better business climate.
Los Angeles doesn't meet a few of the requirements... Adequate public transportation, affordable/cost-effective living, low income/corporate tax, affordable utilities, etc. California sucks for corporations, and employees. High rent and taxes under ever stone.
April Fools
Direct flights to all major cities in Australia!! Definitely must have been the determining factor.
Nooooo donโt ruin LA :(
Way past that point.
LA is so much better than Seattle or SF. Donโt bring tech down there. I hate tech towns
