Funny that the author uses the YouTube acquisition as an example of one that "justifies a high valuation by eventually paying out". Back in 2006, it was a company with very little revenue that was under threat of being sued out of

I feel like Boston gets this right, particularly in the Back Bay, but also in a number of other neighborhoods. https://www.google.com/maps/@42.349106,-71.084347,3a,75y,338... Boston shares a lot of characteristics with
