The report ranked cities on Variety, Convenience, Discovery, & Opportunity.
An article in the business section of the Chronicle referenced the article. The basic takeaway is that Houston does a horrid job of attracting outside talent. And because gen Y'ers choose a city before they choose a job, Houston is at a huge competitive disadvantage to cities like NYC, SF, Chicago, and Portland.
Houston's biggest problem is Too Much Driving. The average Vehicle Miles Travled per person, per day is the higest inthe nation at 39.3 miles. (Dallas is second iat 31.9, the median is 24.3).
Keep in mind that an addional average mile costs drivers about $1 Billion/year!
Another report ranks the same cities on these 4 characteristics: Talented, Innovative, Connected, Distinctive.
