Should Amazon look at not only what a city can do for it but what it can do for a city?

Absolutely! Amazon needs to engage with the community around it to succeed in the long term. Building bonds with a long-term vision in mind is so critical... because honestly, who knows if Amazon will be around in 20 years? You wouldn't want these neighborhoods to end up abandoned like an olympic village.

I worry that a lot of these tech-towns are doing what Detroit did in the 1950s. There's a monopolization of industry (retail-tech) happening here. Everyone worked in a car factory in 1950, and when those factories began to close... everything collapsed.

While Amazon is clearly bringing/investing in more than just brick and mortar, I still wonder how it will all shake out 20 or so years down the road. Great post Hive account@tyler-cukar
