DC is heavily geographically constrained with their residential housing. Anyway, Boston and SF are more expensive than DC so I suppose they are more desirable as urban areas than DC and Chicago as well.
LA is less expensive than DC so I suppose DC is more desirable than LA.
Oh and Chicago is way more urban and feels much closer to NYC than DC.
Chicago doesn't feel like NYC at all. It also doesnt have the east coast pace. It's definitely Midwest in its appeal. Some people like that lifestyle. DC is more educated, sophisticated and cosmo. Chicago is more urban in its DT area but DC's residential areas like Georgetown with its expansive rowhouses are more urban than the suburban looking bungaloos that fill up Chicago.

Bungalows (lol @ bungaloos, something tells me you don't know what one is) fill up Chicago??

Those bungalows are mainly in Chicago and a few surrounding suburbs. The suburban bungalows are more California, Michigan, and other styles.
You "surprisingly" left out Chicago's own rowhouses and brownstones.
Jokes aside, Chicago has better mexican and thai food. But then, every city has better mexican food than NYC. Chicago is also more architecturally significant than NYC.

Chicago doesn't have many rowhouses or brownstones. It's a Midwest city. Not many rowhouses in the Midwest outside of Cincy and maybe St. Louis.
The prevailing housing in Chicago is the famous bungalow. Very, very different from the East Coast cities which are dominated by the apartment building (in NYC) or the rowhouse (in Philly and Baltimore).
