That's very true. Although I thought 63 million was the 2020 projection and ~50 million was the current. (Bosh-Wash is approximately 55 million).

Also someone said Boston because of its distance. Connecticut connects it pretty well, and you could say the same thing about DC and Baltimore. Maryland and Delaware separate DC/Balt from Philadelphia.

Then there's the Taiheiy Belt in Japan with 83 million people in it. Although it spans 750 miles which is quite a bit larger than BosWash which spans ~500 miles.

Taiheiy

How can arguably the most important city in the free world be the weakest link? This thread is comical.

It didn't ask "which of these cities is the least/most powerful," it asked for which city is the weakest in terms of overall urbanity for the region.

Boston is the most detached. The area between Conn (NY burbs) and Mass (Boston burbs) is the least urban in the Boswash.
