To me, this screams Philadelphia.

45 minutes to NYC, 2 hours to DC, two of the biggest talent pools in the country, in a city of 2 million that has been making significant steps forward in the last 10 years.

It is cheap, offers all the urban amenities one could desire, it's close to the beach, I would absolutely move back if I got a good job offer.

If Bezos is into politics, Philadelphia is in a purple state. He will have a massive influence there.

I used to live in Philadelphia, I really loved my time there. It is a hugely underrated city IMO, and probably the most urban feeling in the country behind NYC and Chicago.

Philly is as multicultural as you can get, try taking a walk in Center City and you'll see what I mean.

Comcast has made a home in the city, and I know that they have made an excellent deal with the city government considering the massive investments they are making in Center City.

I know there are other options, I really don't see anything more fitting that Philadelphia though besides maybe Denver or Twin Cities.
