I think the other major Upstate NY metros are in the 40's or 50's.

Washington deserves to be ranked with Los Angeles and Chicago. There is a vast amount of office space in the DC region. In terms of volume of office space, DC metro ranks second in the US after the NYC metro. So please give DC some credit.

Exactly what I was thinking!!!

I love that Springfield, MA is actually on the list. It's the only positive list it's been on in a long while.
