Also on the 100K (400 may be aggressive and too far in the future to really estimate with any clarity) Temple and Drexel are expected to add 1 in 5 of that 100K alone in this time; I actually think it is not too far off as an estimate. That would be a growth of less than 1% per year for perspective; not all that high really...

You guys are beyond delusional. Emotional and unstable is more like it. What's funny is its always the same two or three of you though so there may be hope for DC...maybe even it's downtown?

Nah, we just love DT DC because it has so many more tourists, transit options, museums, sporting events, cultural activities, new projects being built, employment, commercial office space, iconic structures, world events, media outlets, restaurants, diversity and sophistication.

Surprised this isn't a true 3-way race. It seems that some people don't like that DC's downtown is not as developed as PHI, BOS or SF. Does that really take away from the city's appeal against the other top 7 cities? By the way, these 3 cities are all 3 of my top 7 favorites. They would probably actually be ranked 4,5 and 6 or 7.

CC has significantly more transit options, and rail lines, though is under utilized, one of the largest media conglomerations in the world, much more density, including restaurant density. Is at least as diverse as DT DC. CC is on another level compared to DT DC, everyone knows that. DT Boston is also a tier above DT DC. DC has made some great strides but is still a baby in the game relatively speaking

It's probably a bunch of ghost votes for all 3 cities (as always on city data). Thats why I like public polls because you can tell which polls are rigged or not. Don't u find it mysterious how Boston gets like 25 votes in 1 week?
