That list is pure insanity.
Whatever metric they're using is completely untethered from reality.

Is it so far from reality? Or is it the index calculation method that doesn't make any sense?

I think the issue likely stems from how cities are defined. For instance, most people who work in San Francisco have such long commutes that they don't live in San Francisco, so no one living in San Francisco hurts the commute metric.
If they used Metropolitan Statistical Areas, which are a more natural definition of cities, it would look a lot different.

We're gonna need more than Maine for Québec. I'm thinking all of New England. Plus future considerations because we'll be stuck with Conneticut if we take all New England.

I don’t know if they will accept. Quebec has a bad contract with a lot of player options. They could be a free agent at any time.
