Native Dallasite

The Wall Street Journal's analysis, just published today, points to Dallas as the best overall city as the selection for Amazon's massive new HQ2 headquarters ... with an investment of $5 Billion dollars that will employ upwards of 50,000 highly paid and skilled workers.

Even though the competition is stiff, I agree with the Wall Street Journal's just published assessment and believe Dallas will be the selected location.

It will transform Dallas in ways not even imaginable right now and will be a major catalyst to propel Dallas to become the 3rd mega-city metropolis in the nation ... behind Greater New York City and Greater Los Angeles. We're already the central core to the 4th largest metro ... and Dallas will eclipse Chicago even faster if Amazon's HQ2 comes to town.

The case for Dallas now only gets stronger from this point on.

What are Amazon's main businesses?

1. Distribution: Amazon needs a low-cost, central location. 

Answer: Dallas wins as it is an already existing centrally-located low-cost major national and international logistics hub.

2. Data center operations: Amazon needs central location with low operating costs, including power.

Answer: Dallas wins again as an already existing top three data center hub in the nation, with some of the lowest operational and living costs of all major cities. 

Fundamentally, companies such as Amazon compete by lowering costs.  Over the life of HQ2 the cost advantages of Dallas will save Amazon billions and billions of dollars.  And that means Amazon will win more and more business and become even more successful. 

Amazon's bottom line will be the main driver for their Decision Dallas.
