Innovation and regional economic development
I spent 16 years working for internet technology start-ups along the East Coast - from greater NYC area to Boston. What universities such as MIT do so well is foster incubation and they've been doing it for 50 years. It isn't a question of more smart people gravitating to more alluring destinations it is the cultivation of brain trust and nurturing it, leveraging successes to attract more talent and investment. The Scottish people suffer the same issue as the Western New York region - an unwillingness to seem braggart. (Scotland btw produces the highest per capita mobile app development in the world but no one knows this.) DT Cleveland is becoming "cool" and youner people are streaming into the city revitalizing it, there's no reason that Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse shouldn't enjoy the same dynamic.
