| The problem with northeastern cities (well especially Boston) is not just the Dunkin' Donuts factor (no America does not run on Dunkin, only like 3 states kind of do), but the fact that the city proper is the size of most small towns. I bet in the Greater Boston Area, there would be equivalent starbuckses to other similar metro areas in the US. I think it is basically proportional to the population, except for a little lower ratio in places like Boston and Philly and higher in Portland and definitely Seattle. |
