Just look at Dubai. 30 years ago that place was literally just another dot on a map.
So was San Jose and what is now "Silicon Valley".

That will happen when the tech companies pack up their bags to move to Downtown San Francisco in the near future. (I see a Downtown revitalization started by Gavin Newsom.)
I think, just judging by how important it is, Houston. Why the heck is DC even on this poll? Now it may not be very big but I think Denver should be a candidate. Denver is one of the largest inland hub cities for almost everything and has some of the strongest economies in the nation (it also has the "Wall Street Of The West" aka 17th Street).

DC should not even be on this list. DC is either 1 or 2 after New York. Chicago is no where near as relevant as DC, and LA is becoming less and less in comparison to DC metro every year. Try again with that 4th city stuff!

Sorry, but I completely, emphatically disagree with you. The political clout of a city isn't everything. I understand the DC pride, but seriously, DC is nowhere near as relevant as NYC or LA, or even Chicago. It has a place on this list, and it has the most votes, so I think it's right where it belongs.
It's simple. This is the list of most important cities in the US.
1 - New York, NY
2 - Chicago, IL
3 - Los Angeles, CA
And the Winner is - Washington, DC for me simply because its GDP and for being the nations capital.
