The good news – lots of construction jobs, increased cash flow throughout the economy, increased tax receipts, and more. The bad news – increased traffic, disrupted neighborhoods near the site, tighter housing market, and more. How would you vote if you were on the city council and asked to approve Amazon’s HQ2 or an upcoming Olympic event? Debate Room is not a heated debate but a fast-paced, moderated discussion where everyone gets to be heard, and the most interesting speaker gets a prize!
