I'm guessing San Fran and Atlanta beat out Boston because we have to compete with the rest of the North East Megalopolis, whereas they don't have much competition in their immediate area.

Personally, I think Berlin gets the shaft. It's the center of one (if not the) most important countries in the EU (seriously, Warsaw and Madrid rank higher?). Maybe it's importance is diluted by the other major German cities?

LA, Washington, and San Fran all being in the same grouping seems odd. Especially since, at least in my opinion, LA would have to be grouped with Chicago and Washington and San Fran clearly wouldn't.
