    Never heard of this Day 1 name but originally it was called Smart District and would have included the tallest skyscraper in the USA outside of Chicago and NYC. At 1121ft it would have towered over anything in California and would have had a taller Roof height than Phillys new Comcast tower. It could still be built.

      @@LordWinter1222 It is a FACT buddy. Dallas does not even feature top 10 in the list of Skyscrapers or High-Rise. Dallas is very sprawling. Small metro areas like San Fransisco, Philadelphia, Atlanta have more buildings than Dallas. Calgary in Canada ( a city of only 1 million vs 7 million in Dallas) has more more skyscrapers in its downtown core. Google it , google the skyline.

    What I heard is that Amazon will not create new jobs, just import existing employees and are not willing to pay certain taxes, I don't know the specifics but New York rejected them for reasons similar to that. They'll create more traffic and get wealthier while Dallas pays and suffers the costs.

    It would have been better for Amazon than for Dallas had they located there. Texas is very business friendly and is growing. I think they decided on Virginia right out of DC. Not a terrible choice either but I think I would have chosen Texas or Florida.

      Yeah so all the new corporate transplants from all over the country that are moving to Dallas as we speak should be rejected and sent back to where they came from right? This is what happens when you live on a diet of beans. You start to give big winded opinions about things that you don’t know anything about.
