What makes you think prospective Amazon employees would want to live in the suburbs? Their current Seattle HQ is downtown, and there's a whole swath of condos that were recently built in the area so employees could live near their workplace. The HQ2 RFP specifically mentioned that the bidding cities require good cycling, pedestrian, and transit infrastructure, and the type of young tech workers Amazon will be recruiting tend to prefer downtown living over the suburban lifestyle.
