    Well, it’s nice to know that you are on the same market for houses as Bezos!

    The richest man in the world, made in WA, moved to pencil whip the tax code.

    Finally, out of that financial prison!

    You’d be doing this if you weren’t so lazy.

    Bezos is buying in Indian Creek Village. Very high end area— look up who has houses there. Norman Braman. Carl Icahn. Jared and Ivanka Kushner. Tom Brady and Gisselle were building there. Bezos is looking to buy a house while he builds. He looked at a friend of mine’s house in another area. My friend is very successful.

    Lol... that "pig" doesn't want to wallow in that crappy mess he helped to create. They know the one state that will keep the streets, and everyday life, safer than the state of Washington ever will.

    Have you been to Seattle? Yes there are homeless in some downtown areas, but it’s a great city. And Amazon has contributed significantly. Their downtown campus is super nice.

    Agree. And there are plenty of islands he could buy.

    An AWS regional datacenter for the cloud would be nice.

    Consider the implications for CS and CEN programs at UF.

    He went to HS in South Florida.
    He actually did a HS summer camp at UF one year, some prestigious science thing.
    His ex wife gave 10 million each to several state schools (FIU and UCF), would be amazing with him back and hopefully focused some on the state, if we could get him to donate some to UF. Could be a game changer.

    Yet. It seems to be an important action here will he just move himself or will he move all his businesses to a tax haven.

    I'f he has indeed changed residences to avoid paying taxes, why would anyone defend that? He's worth $144 BILLION.

    I guess it's an example of the exploited fearfully supplicating themselves to their masters.

    I suspect he’s moving for the sun and the Latinas.

    I wouldn’t want to live in either city.
    One is a super progressive city with crap weather.
    The other has such bad traffic and very rude people. Almost never have a good experience in Miami.
    At least Miami seems cleaner than Seattle.
