Yeah but it’s not about the property value, even if the land was free a $21mm construction cost is fantastically low. By comparison, it’s 1/10th the cost of warehouses Amazon has built recently in Miami, Virginia and Pflugerville TX, among others.
It was a bad joke. Bezos is just exploiting a terribly poor population for his benefit. Yao face if that warehouse is going to have 1/10th of the safety features and procedures of any of his places here.
I mean it's not really fair to compare the warehouses based off $ value unless you're comparing the same types of warehouses. I can't speak for the Miami warehouse but the VA (assuming Suffolk area) and Pflugerville, TX warehouses have automation systems that cost over $100m+ each.

It’s the first time the technology, called Amazon One, will be used outside some of Amazon’s stores, where shoppers can pay for groceries and snacks by swiping their palms. Starting Tuesday, concertgoers at Red Rocks can sign up to connect their palm to a ticketing account by hovering their hand over a device. They only need to sign up once and then can use their palm to get into other shows and events at the venue. An Amazon account is not needed to use it. Amazon signed a deal with entertainment company AEG to bring the technology to Red Rocks, which sells tickets on AEG’s ticketing site, AXS. Bryan Perez, CEO of AXS, said other venues plan to add the technology in the coming months but he declined to say where or how many. AEG partners with more than 350 stadiums and theaters around the world. going to a concert next week. Guess I will use my hand to get in
So if you’re making 50% margin on your product, if you sell it on Amazon instead of making $50 on your $100 product, you’re making just $20?
