Don't forget that the Bos-Wash mega region also includes a nice little tail that drops into central Virginia and Raleigh - Durham to the south. We're seeing a lot of positive growth here in Richmond as the next closest city south of DC (90 miles) but with affordable urban real estate, limited traffic issues, a new airport and a generally very livable city that has become much more tolerant and open to new ideas and creativity generally over the last 5 years. And if we go just a little further south, and add an hour to the flight, Bos-Wash picks up Charlotte, Atlanta and Nashville as well. And, to the north, Portland, Maine. And, if we're talking flight times, you could add Pittsburgh, Chicago, Memphis and the Ohio cities too; and many small points in between. Really then, that mega-region could be compared with western Europe, that would be an interesting project. …sounds like more fodder for the East Coast / West Coast verbal jousting.
