Kelly's TL:DR summary at the end should have been:
• NYC is more fun! And interesting! I'm 23.
• I work at a big company, but startups have happened here at least once.
• What do I know? I'm only 23.
The original article was articulate if a bit bombastic. The most salient points, which Kelly failed to address, were in my mind:
• The Bay Area has a culture and history of tech innovation
• The Bay Area has thousands of VCs and venture money
• The Bay Area has top engineering schools
• The Bay Area has tons (metric!) more startups, entrepreneurs, hackers, coders, etc.
The most telling sentence in Kelly's post is: "The social component of a real city with museums, clubs, venues, pubs, bars and barcades is important."
A "real city"! Wow. By Kelly's estimation there must be at most only 2 or 3 real cities on the entire planet.
