  You may take solace in the fact that a lot of the human capital in NY is wasted on destroying the world through high finance and advertising.
  
  While in Boston... well, what ARE they doing with all the smarties in Boston?

  As someone who loves Boston dearly, I'm not disappointed or intimidated by these figures. Boston is set up radically differently in terms of its housing style than New York. The number of intelligent, highly educated people who would like to move into Boston far exceeds the stock of available and affordable housing. Also, He used two separate cities in the case of Minneapolis/St. Paul and San Francisco/[presumably?]Oakland. That means that he didn't include Cambridge with Boston -- a legitimate case of twin cities divided by a river as in M/St.P.
  
  Did he consider college/university students as residents? That would make an immense difference, particularly if Cambridge had been included.
  
  He does say that it's a very difficult thing to measure. I suspect the results might have been a very different had Boston's "twin" been included.
