Strongly disagree. Even if the Phase 2 never happens...

The first phase of Amazon’s development, known as HQ2, is scheduled for completion this summer, and hiring is ahead of schedule at 8,000 new full-time employees in Arlington, said Lighty. Known as Metropolitan Park, phase one comprises two new office buildings spanning 2.1 million square feet.

Austin doesn't need these jobs, though. To be honest, I think it would have been hard for Amazon to fill that many jobs in Austin had they chose us. The talent pool is pretty dry here after as all the expansion by Apple, Google, Meta, and despite no HQ2, Amazon.
