Agreed. Especially on how the comparison isn't appropriate. Thank you for expressing what I couldn't find the words to say. I would also ask why compare at all

Agreed. Especially on how the comparison isn't appropriate. Thank you for expressing what I couldn't find the words to say. I would also ask why compare at all? These are apples and oranges. Let Silicon Valley have its claim to fame and don't try to make NYC fit into this mold that it clearly doesn't belong in. NYC has its special qualities. So let's applaud them and encourage them to keep doing what they do best and let them develop their own culture or claim to fame instead of comparing the two.
