@Stratman2015  - it isn't about getting a piece of paradise and forgetting about everybody else.  It's about the real repercussions and "side effects" of having Amazon in a place like Denver.  If one thinks that they're all of the sudden going to go on a local hiring spree, that is also incorrect.  Amazon hired a lot of out of state non-residents in the Seattle area.  The reason I know....one of them was a good friend of mine, out of state transplant hired by Amazon.  A relief?  No - it's just going to increase prices for everyone.
