NIH and NASA get a Google's worth of funding from the federal government. With employees in DC, that funnels a ton of cash into the local economy. But why DC? It has no top medical school. Shouldn't NIH be in Baltimore near Hopkins? Why isn't NASA in a city with a university with a top aerospace program, or closer to aerospace equipment manufacturers?
