After what felt like five old age of mayoral begging and media whatchamacallit , wefinally knowthe top 20 finalists in the fell battle for Amazon ’s 2nd HQ . The cities are about as predictable as you ’d call up . fundamentally , all the large one .
Here they are , and among them , there can be only one success , as the rest period can not go Amazon ’s Thunderdome or the wrath of a fearsome , fervour - breathing Jeff Bezos :
Atlanta , GA
Austin , TX
Boston , MA
Chicago , IL
Columbus , OH
Dallas , TX
Denver , CO
Indianapolis , IN
Los Angeles , CA
Miami , FL
Montgomery County , MD
Nashville , TN
Newark , NJ
New York City , NY
Northern Virginia , VA
Philadelphia , PA
Pittsburgh , PA
Raleigh , NC
Toronto , ON
Washington DC
Noticeably abstracted from the list are many cities on the West Coast . There is only Los Angeles and no credit of big tech hubs around Silicon Valley . However , if you considerthat part of Amazon ’s missionin building a second military headquarters some distance away from its original Seattle headquarters , this is is n’t surprising . What ’s sort of curious , though , is that three of the top 20 “ cities”—Montgomery County in Maryland , Northern Virginia , and Washington DC — are basically all the same metropolitan region . Also , conjure a fist for the solitary Canadian metropolis on the inclination , Toronto . ( Sorry Mexico City . )
Correction 9:40am EST : An earlier version of this post mistakenly said there were no city on the West Coast . Los Angeles is on the West Coast . The voice communication has been update to reflect this .
