Christie Backs Newark's Amazon Bid With $7 Billion in Tax Breaks
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is seeking to deploy $7 billion in potential tax credits to lure Amazon.com Inc.?s planned second headquarters to Newark, which has been struggling to stage a broad economic revival since it was devastated by riots in 1967.
The proposal would offset state and city taxes, including an incentive through New Jersey?s Economic Development Authority that could reach $5 billion over 10 years, the governor?s office said Monday in a statement. The remainder of the tax breaks would come from a $1 billion city property tax abatement and a wage tax waiver of $1 billion for employees.

Well yea, you don't save the world from Climate change by building Camrys. You do it by making sure rich people can drive a $100,000 car in the carpool lane solo and get a giant kickback from the taxpayers.

So another benefit of Cali is no hurricanes... really feel bad for those people in Houston and close by.
But we do get earthquakes, although it seems floods in the Gulf Coast are more frequent.

So what are the odds of it landing in the "Golden State"? I'll tell you....0.

Nice try but dooomed!!
Cities of Long Beach and Huntington Beach Join Forces to Bid on Amazon HQ2: ?Amazon Coast: Portal to the World?
Exciting News!
With excellent weather year-round, close proximity to the largest port complex in the nation, three airports, a multitude of transportation services, various housing options, diverse communities, an extraordinary amount of local talent, and three strategically located sites, Huntington Beach and Long Beach (HBLB) have highlighted all the key elements in making HBLB the home of Amazon HQ2 ? ?Amazon Coast: Portal to the World.? Packaged as a nod to the original beginnings of Amazon, the HBLB coffee table book-style proposal theme of Sand, Sea and Air creates a trifecta that provides stability, balance, and strength.
Three prime sites have been identified by HBLB for the new Amazon headquarters: one in Huntington Beach ? ?Amazon Sand,? another site along the Long Beach waterfront ? ?Amazon Sea,? and a third site adjacent to the Long Beach Airport ? ?Amazon Air.? HBLB stands apart from other competing cities in that the ?Amazon Sand? site is already entitled and move-in ready with more than 500,000 square feet of space.
The cities have joined together as both are close in proximity and well exceed the criteria for Amazon HQ2. HBLB offers virtually turnkey sites for phases one and two, a highly-educated work force, a business-friendly environment, a multitude of recreation activities, and an unparalleled quality of life. With the help of our partners such as the Long Beach Convention & Visitors Bureau, Visit HB, and the creative communication team at interTrend, ?Amazon Coast? was born.
Long Beach Mayor Dr. Robert Garcia believes ?Long Beach has a vibrant downtown on the water, a Metro rail connection to Downtown Los Angeles, an airport, one of the world?s busiest and greenest ports, a great public school system, and the best people and workforce anywhere. I?ve called this beautiful city home for 20 years, and I?m proud that it?s a place where people from all walks of life and every corner of the globe call home. We would love to share our city with Amazon, whose presence would enrich the tapestry of Long Beach."
Huntington Beach Mayor Barbara Delgleize is thrilled about the potential for Amazon to consider HBLB. ?If Amazon were to select HBLB, I know having them here would only bring out the best in all of us ? a new spark of inspiration for not only the Los Angeles and Orange County regions, but Southern California as a whole. Where else can you go to have so much connectivity and accessibility? And with so many outdoor recreation opportunities and perfect year-round weather, Amazonians will love the SoCal vibe and culture. It?s with great pride that we request that Amazon consider Surf City and Long Beach for its HQ2.?
HBLB plans to deliver its proposal Thursday ? as well as a custom made HBLB surfboard. Check out the creative ?Amazon Coast? video, featuring a surprise celebrity, in the quest to deliver the final proposal from HBLB to CEO Jeff Bezos. Cameo by HB?s hometown surfer, Brett Simpson. The video is available on Twitch.tv ? a subsidiary of Amazon.com. Home to TwitchCon 2017, Long Beach is already poised to promote Amazon?s global brand.
