Listened to NPR on my way home today. Basically from what I understand is that Amazon plans to hire 25k people but the hiring will be spread out over a decade. The first year is only going to amount to 400 jobs. This will increase over time but they also noted that the DC/Nova area brought in 50k jobs last year alone and that Nick is Amazon's hiring will be from within the existing market.
I don't see this causing home/rent prices to jump at an alarming rate because of this.
Also VA is giving them $530 million to make this happen with Arlington county kicking in another $23 million. It amounts to something like $22k per employee hired (salary must be at least $100k to qualify).
