As a resident, fan and former employee of the City of New York, I would like to believe this, but the study appears to overstate NYC's case. It uses as its definition of Silicon Valley the San Jose MSA, and excludes San Francisco. ..." Compares with data in 1999 City Comptroller's report on the NYC software/IT industry.
