Carrie Ellsworth Read. Obituary Published on October 25, Mark Heilbrunn. Lettie Davidson, nee Malinson. Winifred Miller. Obituary Published on October 24, Katherine Yockey. Charles Saunders. Sybalean Rhodriquez. Amazon has deep pockets and is rapidly metastasizing. Can your city stand on its own without it, or will you become addicted to the opioid of its prosperity?

Today, it comes with a number of problems. In Seattle, the influx of Amazon workers has made the city unaffordable to most folks. We are being San Francisco-ized. Millennials are being priced out. So much for the future. Seventy-five percent of the homeless are local, and many report they wound up on the streets after being priced out of housing.

The new apartments being built house people who make Amazon salaries. Amazon will look for a low-tax environment. Such entities never have local loyalty, they answer to shareholders. In its HQ2 town, Amazon will use, as big corporations do, leverage to gain incentives, tax giveaways or exemptions and free infrastructure.

Boeing did the same thing in Washington, and used moving their corporate headquarters to Chicago and building planes in South Carolina to scare local lawmakers into additional concessions for less benefit.
