We knew #AmazonHQ2 was coming back in 2018. We should have been upzoning and building housing like crazy ever since then. 😩

Thinking of this news, I just added mentions of "Amazon HQ2" to the "Arlington VA" feed keywords. This will also work for the hashtag #AmazonHQ2.

Planned HQ2 expansion gets more utility work, but no updates on construction timeline | ARLnow.com Utility work for HQ2's stalled second phase is continuing this month, but Amazon is still keeping mum about a construction timeline. Several sidewalk and crosswalk closures are scheduled for the next ...

C'mon poop emoji building! I for one look forward to our future with distinctive architecture. I just wish the #AmazonHQ2 "Helix" were facing the rest of the neighborhood, not designed to merely be seen by the Pentagon and DC.

Amazon HQ2 in Arlington faces setbacks: Confirms 200 job losses in 2023, falling short of the target to add 2,500 jobs. With ~8,000 employees currently, the journey to reach ~25,000 is still on track. Stay tuned for updates on this pivotal development. #AmazonHQ2 #Arlington

#ArlingtonVA passed Missing Middle housing reform, a huge urban plan for Langston Blvd, really nice protected bike lanes & park at the new #AmazonHQ2, re-elected a pro-CJR top prosecutor, and locked in #RankedChoiceVoting for all future primary elections.

The new 🚴 PBL's on South Eads St around #AmazonHQ2 are going to be niiiiice.

Just got off the phone with a reporter writing on #AmazonHQ2 and #NationalLanding - I'll be on the lookout for this comprehensive piece which should be coming out soon.

6/ There are 3 issues that got me to run for County Board: 1st the #AmazonHQ2 subsidies, then the haphazard COVID response b/w North and South Arlington, and finally the realization how unsafe our streets are for pedestrians and cyclists.

Different views in politics, but the same goals for Arlington. Catching up with local @vagreenparty activist Kirit at @BallstonQuarter to get some Green/Libertarian cooperation going. We first met years ago through @ORArlington's #AmazonHQ2 efforts.

My only question for when the official announcement is made: is Arlington giving them subsidies and benefits for the move like they did with #AmazonHQ2 and Nestle?

This was perfect weather for a walking tour of #NationalLanding by @WalkArlington. Lots of questions about Route 1 being taken to grade and #AmazonHQ2.

The #AmazonHQ2 #PenPlace garage has 139 EV stalls at the open. 158 EV-ready stalls can be provided at a later date with demand increase.
Running conduit for extra EV's isn't a concern, but amperage is, but can't tell what is needed until world sees how EVs are used more.

I don't think the problem with #AmazonHQ2 security cameras picking up protesters on the public sidewalks is that Amazon would try to get #ArlingtonVA county to punish them, but rather Amazon would use #FacialRecognition and track the protesters.

Very glad that #AmazonHQ2 is hosting the new Arlington Community High School.

Still not thrilled about the lack of bike lanes on 12th St, meaning cyclists have to detour through the campus. #PenPlace #AmazonHQ2

Planning Commission meeting on #AmazonHQ2 #PenPlace site. About the same as my last thoughts: 🧵

@BikeGillian despite ACHS going into #AmazonHQ2, I'm still following up with the idea of using fire station #4 for educational use. I like the idea. I agree about not dumping affordable housing above a noisy fire station. They deserve better.

I'm getting ready for the walking tour of #PenPlace (aka #AmazonHQ2). Who else is here? If not, any questions I can pass along to get answers on?

.@REBNY John H. Banks

"New York’s renaissance over the past forty years has been due in part to our ability to work through difficult issues that have led to record population and job growth and the emergence of our city as a true global capital." #AmazonHQ2

.@Costa4NY "is no shock to anyone that this was a disaster from the start and bad policy. New York City has long-standing processes in place to ensure that any project — from a sidewalk cafe to a corporate headquarters — considers the community’s needs." #AmazonHQ2

(2/2) I hope this is the start of a conversation about vulture capitalism and where our tax dollars are best spent. I know I’d choose mass transit over helipads any day. #AmazonHQ2
