I wonder if the Matthews land is otherwise tied up with Texas Central as part of the HSR deal?

Is it in a flood zone or area that could be susceptible to rising sea levels? No. What about the ability to draw tens of thousands of new workers to relocate from other US areas in spite of the recent disaster and common flooding? Unaffected. 3/4 of a mile from a station isn't too good either, espe...

Realized that, but also realize they aren't going to get 100+ acres that meet all their other requirements in an urban environment in a good city near mass transit for a $5 billion project cost. If they can get the 40-45 acres, plus maybe eventually ~15-20 more where the Target center is, they can ...

That, public incentives, and access to a pipeline of workers will be deciders. Amazon will seek the lowest cost deal with the best access to human capital, weighed against the...

After hearing the ticket price of the HSR I've cooled on it. Would still probably use it, though. The hyperloop seems like a will-happen technology at this point, same as driverless cars.

But still...that's a new Mercedes or two every year in straight rent...good luck.
