As a Dallasite, I've been hoping we won't get it because it would send our housing prices through the stratosphere and ruin traffic for a generation.

From what I've seen, the reaction to this news on /r/Dallas is very positive. We don't want Amazon here.

I'm from Raleigh but I"m not convinced Raleigh-area schools have the talent required and willing.

The Triangle has a number of good schools: Duke and UNC are both in the top 25 CS programs in the US. I've worked with some NCSU CS grads in the past and they've also been great.

Duke and UNC are tiny CS programs. I went to NC State, and it's definitely not in the same tier for undergrad.

Yeah, but some of the CEO's houses are in these two areas.
