"Business friendly" usually means worker and citizen unfriendly. Owners of capital love a booming economy and increasing population because it makes them rich. They are voting their bank accounts.

Yes, they would be almost exactly the same if they were at the same altitude. As it is, their subtle differences in climates have kind of altered things as far as growth patterns and such.
