"The most important part is it cements NYC as the main tech center on the East Coast."

This has long ago been cemented...

I wouldn't say that at all. NYC is definitely large for tech on the East Coast but so is Boston in tech R&D, DC for government related tech companies, and Research Triangle in NC and Austin TX (if this counts as East Coast) are both hotbeds for tech startups. There really is no Bay Area equivalent on the East Coast.

Sorry to be inflammatory but in what world is Austin, TX considered East Coast?

No offense taken. I only included it because Amazon had been including it in their discussion of an East Coast HQ2.

Your state should probably border the east coast to fall into the category of "east coast".

Nowhere in Texas counts as "East Coast."

Not really - Boston has been far ahead in terms of tech/VC/innovation on the East Coast
