“As the article points out, Los Angeles has 5 Fortune 500 headquarters. Plano lags far behind with only 2.”

THAT’S what you took away from the article?? It seems you missed the whole point of it.

Sure. Los Angeles with about 3.8 million people can compete successfully with cities with 260,000.

It seems a mite silly to compare Plano, TX on an equal footing with LA to me. After all, there are roughly 40 times as many people in LA compared to Plano.

But, the rate of Fortune 500 headquarters for Plano is roughly 1:125,000 population, where in LA it is roughly 1 to 2,000,000 people. I reckon Texans are getting more done with fewer people...
