Poorly researched.
They kicked Sacramento off the first round "1 million or more" yet there are 2 million in the greater Sacramento area, strong job growth and local economy, affordable housing, and decent tech chops (ok not the Bay Area by a long shot). The SMA has no detectable boundaries between cities; they just blend together.
I wonder how many other cities were eliminated due to poor research.
- Spooky23 9y agoTheir view of metro area is pretty limited. The Albany-Schenectady-Troy MSA is about million people, and it's barely a top 50 market. There are definately a lot of other markets in a bunch of different places that can compete for this.
- in_cahoots 9y agoSacramento was kicked off for poor job growth, not population. Every city on the list met the population criteria.
