These silly New Yorkers, with no sense of anything outside Manhattan.
Put aside government -- which is enormous -- and DC has:
- A long Internet history. MAE-East. UUNet. AOL. Equinix. Network Solutions. Microstrategy.
- Let's not discuss the one of the single largest tech regions in the country: the Dulles Technology Corridor.

- A huge Big Data industry fed by (besides government) stuff like DC's ginormous genomics and bioinformatics industries, financial regulation groups, you name it. FINRA is in DC. So is Capital One.
- Amazon Web Services is already in DC.
- The three highest income counties in the country.
