Also, any city willing to participate must have the following...
Top of the line medical centers, big ones!
Fantastic sports teams, many of them.
Amazing universities, state college required.
Seasons, a little of everything for everyone.
A small traffic problem, so it can get worse.
Cheap real-estate, so it can get more expensive.
A port, you know, the ones with access to shipping lanes.
Land for more suburbs, so you can run out of land.
I'm sure the list is longer for the reasons why Silicon Valley and Seattle are what they are, but that's a start.
