About this weblog
Here we'll report daily on the latest tech and business developments in New York City. Impossible we concede: comprehensive coverage of the city's every story. What we hope you'll find: tips, tidbits and perspectives you won't find elsewhere. As well as unique insights, original interviews and more that should be of interest to New York's vibrant community of technologists and those who track, invest in and report on them.
New York is a friendly town, logistically speaking
Posted by Dominic Basulto
We all know that New York is #1 when it comes to media, finance, fashion and just about any other category you'd care to think up. Well, New York now ranks #1 as the "Most Logistics Friendly Metro", according to a poll of the Top 50 Logistics-Friendly Cities in the U.S. The study, which looked at 362 metropolitan areas in the U.S., used a combination of ten different factors - road infrastructure, road congestion, road conditions, interstate highway access, vehicle taxes and fees, railroad access, water port access and air cargo access - to come up with the final rankings. Other cities in the top five included Houston, Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit.
