Will they make the city more attractive to Hollywood stars? Dream on.

Only in politics. NYC was the first capital after all... only moved to separate business/government. The real power is still in NYC...

In what world does the 4th most populated metro area DFW is not even on the list.

Miami and Atlanta should also be on the list.

You can at least explain what those cities offer when it comes to importance....

Chicago: Transportation
Boston: Education
Houston: Energy/ports
DC: Government
SF: Technology

Probably in the world where DC is the capital of the US. I'm being facetious, but maybe I'm not.
