You really believe that? Like really? That number is just too good to be true.
If a Canadian city wins and this is true I'll eat crow and moving to the winning city.

The $100k salary is very reasonable. The 50k jobs is something we could look at over a 20-30 year cycle.
Now we have to start asking ourselves how long of an investment should this be? 10 years? 20 years? 30years? From a public perspective if you can create this many jobs and have a net payoff in 20 years, why is it a bad deal?
Of course I don't believe it to be net pay off in 20 years. I think any city that gets HQ2 is going to reap massive benefits. Seattle is doing great right now even if people love to whine about that Amazon has changed this or made this more expensive.
