Dear Amazon, We Picked Your New Headquarters for You
This really burns me.  The Times compared the metro population of Grand Rapids (1 million) to Detroit's population (670,000) in order to disqualify the city in their first round.<p>But metro Detroit has a population of 4.5 million so the Times either was sloppy with their criteria or they deliberately snubbed Detroit.<p>Detroit may be a dark horse in this competition but with Dan Gilbert going all out to win I don't think you can count them out just yet even if the New York Times hastily does.
