Well, there is a thing called a market. One market is substantially larger than the other. Then there is the revenue base. One revenue base is substantially larger than the other. Then there is the tax base to support some of the public costs. Again, one is larger than the other. Then there is the corporate support. One is much, much larger than the other. Can you imagine being able to say you have Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, Weyerhauser, Costco, and Starbucks as your base? Maybe that 3.78M versus 1.38M people matters?
