For what it's worth, Boston's subway is nowhere near New York's...and Chicago's healthcare sector is nowhere near Boston's.

Boston's mass transit system is nowhere close to New York's even for its size. Its headways are pretty bad and night owl service is not so great. NYC also has a really extensive/great bus system that's actually really good (I suspect it has something to do with how many straight thoroughfares that NYC has which makes buses easier to run and predict).
Also, NYC is actually a better contender in terms of the health care job market, especially in terms of research, because it has Columbia, Cornell, NYU, Mount Sinai, Einstein (Yeshiva), Rockefeller, SUNY Downstate Medical Center, and SUNY Optometry.
