I wonder if 50,000 is some kind of projection based on amazon hitting/surpassing it's growth targets.

seems the place in Miami fell short of the projections.

based on figures quotes for imperial and the pentagon above - it would seem that you need about 275 sq ft per employee (apple seems to be closer to 200 sq ft) - so that gets you close to 14,000,000 sq feet - so something about 15 times the size of imperial.

that would be almost a city within a city.

after reading the articles about working at amazon, and thinking about the deal amazon will likely strike to deliver HQ2 to the winning city I find the company somewhat unattractive. although I am assuming that they likely deliver millions/trillions/gazillions in charity and other spinoff benefits to their communities - them really seem like they are willing to suck everything out of their people and communities.
