You're the US federal government and decide to build a new planned city for all the federal workers. Where do you build it? Give a Google maps pin. - eviltoast

You want cheap, cheap, cheap, lots of room to grow, low cost of living (no extreme temps), low chance of natural disaster, etc. New airport will be built.

Political Capitol will remain in DC.

    That’s interesting that they’re straight up building housing on such on the former grounds. Even left the tower! But I guess that makes sense given that it’s mostly residential surrounding the old airport. Kinda reminds me of Chicago’s Midway Intl Airport. Surrounded by residential neighborhoods and even has a trainyard not too far.

    There’s a former military airport south of Kansas City was closed down in the 90s. It’s being used as an intermodal yard and storage/warehousing space now..

    Yeah, Idk. If the city closed MKC airport, I wouldn’t be too sad about it. As long as they did something cool or interesting with it.
