      Find me a (even remotely) decent one for $900K and I'll buy it right now and be grateful for it.

Having actual companies with workers moving in would kinda suck. (Fun related story: they were going to build a single-A baseball stadium in One Loudoun right next to Route 7 but then changed plans, possibly because they realized that was a monumentally dumb place to put a baseball stadium.)
        That also isn't the pass-through crowd they are looking to attract at One Loudon. They are aiming for Saks Fifth Avenue, not Marshall's.

        I know what you mean about the infrastructure here. My no frills INET is 480/450 and they're talking about the next stage expansion being 5G/3G. Now, I am only a caveman and your modern technology mystifies and frightens me. But that's more than adequate for my porn needs.

            It's really cool. I applied for a job there once just to get inside for the interview.



            Joke's on me; the interview was not in the building.

            It looks like a wedge fell from the sky and stuck in the ground. The construction crew that built the building famously left a stenciled message on the roof, "This End Up."

                  Bingo. The fact that they’d have to compete hard for workers is the much better reason to publicly state

                          But that’s entirely accurate.

                              Yeah I just turned down the chance to move to Boston or dc for work. No thanks. Crazy property prices plus weather I consider no better than MN really. Plus I think dc is about to get invaded by amazon. I think it’s west coast or bust for me

                                It's good for business. It's good for American jobs.

                                https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/13/b...imes&smtyp=cur

                                In the two months since the Trump administration’s steel and aluminum tariffs went into effect, the Commerce Department has been deluged with more than 8,200 exemption requests from companies that import foreign metals. With just a handful of countries temporarily exempted from Mr. Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs, companies are scrambling to win exemptions for every screw and spring they import, with each width and length requiring stand-alone filings. One company alone has submitted 1,167 of the filings, according to government officials.

                                The imposition of tariffs was supposed to help protect American companies from foreign competition. But they have also created a chaotic, time-consuming process and provoked deep uncertainty among executives, who are delaying investment, expansion and hiring as a result.

                                The disarray stems from the sheer vastness of the administration’s attempt to reshape the rules of global trade in a matter of months, as it threatens a trade war with China and races to rewrite the North American Free Trade Agreement.
