Just to give a proportional representation - California is 2.5X of New York State's economy (2.5trn vs 1trn) and around 17% of the 2.5trn is from Bay Area. If you include greater NYC region (as opposed to just NYC and not NY State), then the economy of just NYC-related economy 1.3 trillion (2012 number, so may be 1.5trn is a fair number to adjust for baselines), which is 3X of Bay Area economy.
