Boston Out-Visions Philly
“Both Boston and Philadelphia are great American cities, steeped in history,” writes local attorney Ajay Raju in The Philadelphia Citizen. “But today, Boston has reimagined and reinvented itself as a region of the future.”
Raju writes about the strategic and enormous public investments Boston has made to become dominant in life-sciences research and technology, creating jobs and taxable wealth at a far greater rate than Philadelphia.
Philadelphia has a strong life-sciences industry of its own, Raju notes, but remains “under the thumb of an archaic, sclerotic, and venal political culture, more obsessed with the protection of little fiefdoms and perpetuation of petty grievances than with looking ahead toward a dynamic, sustainable and prosperous future.”
