Bezos didn't move to DC, just bought a house there. He's got plenty of houses.

I agree that the DC area is the most likely possibility for HQ2, but bezos buying a house there is a relatively unimportant indicator.

OK. Other than that, DC is a poor place to move a big administrative operation. No space for a big campus unless you go way out beyond the Beltway.

Montgomery County, MD would be perfect, then. And if they're going for NoVa, there's a lot of space in Loudoun County.
