Looking at the bar chart on that page - NY scores a lot higher on "Business Environment" than SF, enough to pip SF (#2) at the post.
They have a bunch of categories and add up the scores, that's all. Pretty arbitrary, like any such list. Most of the comments sound here like it's someone's personal opinion, or deliberately fixed, or an insult to SF, or a joke etc.
