How is Amazons deal in any way equal to your $1 an hour analogy? This is a serious question. Amazon will bring high paying jobs to the area. Those workers will pay taxes. They will also patronize local businesses. Yes, real estate will go nuts and infrastructure will have a tough time scaling, but your $1 an hour analogy is dishonest.

I grew up in Seattle. I know what Amazon will do, but again, your $1 analogy needs a citation. This is beyond hyperbole.
