I dunno, this just tells me that the DC area could not submit a unified bid because of differing state politics. All three sections of the DC region offer the urban housing, public transit, and quality of life that Amazon’s looking for, and all three are (arguably) equally desirable for office leasing.
This isn’t a random drawing, DC having three “spots” on the shortlist doesn’t give them an advantage, Amazon will still be considering the DC area as one unit in their deliberations and, if chosen, then they will probably pick the DC subregion with the best incentive package.
This is no different than New York and Newark submitting separate bids...
