Seattle, WA
(long before there was a PFA i had my Grenade & Crossbones avatar at DD)
Yeah I was going to pick Austin before seeing that dupe account took it. =/
Well, it's possible they build a 2nd HQ there.
The main problem with Austin is the transit there still sucks, even if they’re trying to improve. Also, the airport would need to be seriously expanded. And being in a red state could clash with some of their values, even if Austin is super liberal.
I can see Boston being the favorite. The biggest downside would be cost of living.
And I like Pittsburgh as a dark horse
All of plus:
housing prices are still laughably low despite consistent growth.
NYC tech worker wages have not, by and large, scaled properly and there is a huge opportunity to poach talent here.
tons of tech innovation taking place, eg PGH is one of a very short list of cities where automated driving systems are being tested in the wild.
Atlanta would be my second pick because of the network infrastructure but honestly I just cant see techies being like "OH SHIT SEE YOU IN THE TRAP" while they pack their bags to relocate there.
Austin might well TID as well but the hype about Austin's tech potential seems to fall well short of the realities so far.
I'd be pretty amazed if they chose someplace other than Austin / Atlanta / PGH tho.

cmoney :It would be nice if Mexico could simply get human feces out of its drinking water
what the hell Ill take Nashville...they're building on any spot of free land that they have in that city...know I'm swimming uphill because while vandy is a top school it's really small...
Id be very surprised to hear Boston take it because the only reason I work for who I work for is they exhausted all the local talent in Boston years ago.
Plus traffic, housing costs, that fucking winter... Boston would surprise me.

Las Vegas Obviously workers will be able to smoke pot During Breaks!
Baltimore, MD. They are already expanding left and right around here.
LOL at it not being a port city where goods can be shipped right to the fucking warehouse pretty much. Austin? Atlanta? Yeah fucking right.
2nd and 3rd choices NY and Boston.
The East coast runs the fucking world, get with the program.
Vienna, West Virginia

Don;t feel like reading through thread so I will just say Ottawa since no one picked them most likely. Everyone making fun of mayor for going to see them uninvited.
