you mean cannibalizing employees that already live there, providing no net new tax revenue, in an area that does not need any more fucking people or tech jobs?
Trump, is that you? Maybe do a bit of research before spouting BS. There are not enough people to fill tech jobs in the US, period. Ask me how I know.

By 2020, there will be 1.4 million jobs requiring computer science expertise, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, but only 400,000 computer science graduates will have the skills to fill those roles. Amazon today announced a plan to provide Introductory and Advanced Placement (AP) computer science courses to more than 130 high schools in the New York City area.
The courses, supported by the company's Amazon Future Engineer program, will take place in schools spread across all five New York City boroughs, including more than 30 schools in Queens, where Amazon plans to open one of its new headquarters.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
