Agreed, this looks like a classic example of "correlation != causation".
It seems like this argument taken to it's final conclusion would be that startups gravitate towards cities with better transit than those that don't, which isn't the case given the Austin and San Jose examples.
- ghaff 7y agoAnd, for that matter, San Francisco is nothing to write home about.
- bryanrasmussen 7y agoOf course I haven't lived there in about 30 years, but when I did I think it was better than much of the U.S
- baddox 7y agoProbably second in the US to NYC right?
- servercobra 7y agoPersonally, I think Chicago's is much better than SF. But SF's is still alright and certainly better than LA (where I am now).
- em-bee 7y agoand i thought LA was all right, at least if you are not in the suburbs
- corybrown 7y agoDC trounces SF
- PopeDotNinja 7y agoWhen they're not single tracking the Metro.
- matt_morgan 7y agoPhilly is way better than SF for transit. Maybe it's similar within the dense parts but it's 1000% better for nearby areas.
- luckydata 7y agoTallest dwarf in the party.

- TulliusCicero 7y agoIt's still much better than almost everywhere else in the US. There are only a handful of cities that are obviously better for public transit in the US.
- dehrmann 7y agoIt's amazing how it takes an hour to go anywhere in a city 7 miles x 7 miles. I guess transit's pretty good for going between the Mission and SoMa/FiDi.
- bryanrasmussen 7y agoI sort of wonder how much good transportation correlates with other good things that mostly young people like in their local area.
