This list makes me very surprised that Amazon dropped Detroit, MI from the finalists on their HQ2 search. Rent there is half of what it is in Seattle. A few AMZN shares would go a lot further to keeping people happy in Detroit than in many other cities.
Detroit has a bad reputation because their economy failed. But put 50,000 high paying tech jobs there, that problem would look very different.
