D.C., Suburb of New York?

So says Richard Florida, Mr. Creative Class.  And in a sense, not the traditional sense, but nonetheless, he is sort of right.  Now New York is 200 miles away and nobody would actually commute to an from New York on a daily basis unless they had a private jet.

D.C. used to be exclusively a federal town.  However, a funny thing happened in the 90s.  It became something of a tech and media hub.  And at this point it has become something of a little brother to New York on media matters.  I think this will actually occur to a lesser extent with finance.
