A bit late, but Samsung recognized its blunder.

“A major tech manufacturer is leaving New Jersey for Texas after just one year operating from its swanky new headquarters in the Democratic stronghold.

Electronics giant Samsung will soon be relocating more than 1,000 employees from its 312,000-square-foot office in Englewood Cliffs to Plano.

Featuring a cafeteria, fitness center, grocery store and even an arcade, the glass-walled HQ at 700 Sylvan Avenue was supposed to become the company's longtime home. …”

Interesting as they recently built a 1200 acre $25 billion chip manufacturing plant near Austin. Wonder why they didn't headquarter close to that plant?
