In reality New Orleans is nowhere on the radar.

One of the main reasons why Amazon isn't coming here is tech talent pool
Another issue is property values and local push back

Affordable housing is already a hot button issue in New Orleans. Long-time locals are quick to pin blame on young hipster types and a tech-startup-turned-market-disrupter called Airbnb. A surge of 50,000 employees in New Orleans could accelerate the debate.

But such a move would clearly alter the fabric of a city that cherishes and fiercely defends its culture. Forget Airbnb. An Amazon headquarters would be almost certain to spur massive displacement of residents, with the poor most vulnerable.

By spending millions to destroy history and blight the remains?

New Orleans' chance to get Amazon's new facility is only slightly better than Bunkie's.
Deluded New Orleanians need to wake up and smell the Bourbon Street.
There is no chance.

There's not 50,000 unemployed New Orleanians who actually want jobs.

New Orleans isn't even an outside contender.
It's a dump with crumbling infrastructure, horrible schools, and a corrupt government.

You don't know much about Amazon and how they hire.

Most would have to move here. Two problems: 1) They dont want to move here. 2) The "Long-time Locals" dont want them here.

Nothing like a New Orleans joke thread.

Talk about delusional. There are a few people in Houston that think the Astrodome is going to be the new Amazon location.

Picayune, MS has a better shot

Ive heard of about 20 different things for that place. Last was Hattie Mae and Pals Foundation turning it into a water park.
