This feels like there is definitely a bit of a chip on his shoulder about the Bay Area. Having said that, I think he makes valid points. Mostly around employee retention and loyalty. Boston is also really "two cities". Once you get on the other side of the 128 people are the opposite of transient. They're there for life. What's interesting to me is that we're even having this discussion. For the longest time Boston was the Number 2 after the Bay Area. It has really slipped though relative to New York, Austin and other secondary markets over the last 5 years. It's a "no nonsense" place (the weather and puritan streak will do that to you) that values intellectualism. So it's no wonder with the explosion of mobile and consumer/media apps it's fallen behind and still focuses on B2B and medical.
