> I was pulling for Amazon HQ2 to be in Detroit as well, but alas...

With the amount of tax breaks on the table from the bids in competition, there's no way Detroit would break even. The last thing the city needs is a marketing stunt that creates a tax sinkhole.




Detroit has a lot of inexpensive land. I wonder if they could match the overall costs of other locations without the tax break.
