OMG, here we go again with the Doomsday predictions of Bay Area RE. We survived a big earthquake and the great recession and came back STRONGER. At the end of the day, the Bay Area has EVERYTHING a person could want. Jobs, weather, diversity, activity, etc. Yes, you can’t be poor here, for sure. But, if you have some smarts the Bay can be an awesome place to live. Only winners and survivors can make the Bay home.
bay area koolaid bro 
What do you mean? Look outside your window or if you are outside, what is the temperature like? What day is it? As I am writing from my home office, I can look to Ocean Beach and it looks lovely. Sunny if not downright warm. I can walk in my shorts for some dim sum to go and life is good. My nephew’s bride to be just landed from Japan and is about to start her life here. There is no other place I would want to be.
Oh, if that pic is truly of your wife, you are a lucky man, Sir. Beautiful. She would give my wife a run for the money…
That is not my wife hahaha mine is more beautiful
Ok, touche…

Doubtful. It’s not just Amazon. Google hasn’t even finished their buildings. Facebook is still hiring to fill out their building. Plus, I can lookup the number of Seattle hires after me and current Seattle employee count any time.
Hmmm

HQ2 and HQ3?
CNBC’s Brian Sullivan earlier reported Amazon could split the proposed workforce and investments between Austin and Northern Virginia.
Damn… now I am under pressure to buy more FAST. No wonder those neighborhoods near The Domain becomes so VERY HOT. For the sake of disclosure, have already bought 2 SFHs in those neighborhoods, now I might have to speed up and buy buy buy 2-3 more SFHs before AMZN announcement.

Amazon may announce this week. Buy today.
Tell them to delay for another month. I am not ready to buy more.
I have booked air ticket to Austin this weekend upon this news to scout more houses (I use to wait patiently for bargains and good layout but now any houses will do), so I really need AMZN to delay the announcement.
Any good Chinese restaurants in Austin?
None 
Cook yourself 
Some Chinese restaurants are very crowded, I think is because the food is cheap rather than is good.
My advice, learn to eat steak 
Ribeye and T-bone are very good
By splitting I think amazon means it will choose a couple DC suburbs, not just one in Virginia.
They would put one on the Maryland side too. That way they get 4 senators in their pocket instead of only 2.
