Boston -- the GLOBAL leader in innovation

As anyone who reads my blog knows, ( and thanks again to those out there who does by the way!), I am a believer in good vibes and bad vibes people. I hope the attached article, showing Boston's dominance not only nationally but internationally, as the intellectual center of the business world, finally silences the bad vibers out there--at least for a little while.

The impact on Greater Boston's real estate market is directly tied to the measures cited in this article. If there is anybody out there who still believes we are not in full recovery in the Boston office market, please raise your hand.

Of course, the right time for all of the real estate firms in Boston to raise their hands would have been 6 months ago, but it's funny that nobody did. As Satchel Paige said, "Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you."

Like a real estate recovery.

  1. JA - it has been a while !!

    I share your optimism but so many facts are counter to your position. Here is a great editorial from Stergios of the Pioneer Institute (disclosure: I am a big fan of Pioneer)on how Massachusetts compares. It is not pretty, but it can be if we remove political do-nothings.

    When Citizens Bank gets sold, there will go another corporate citizenwith ties to Boston.
