Some more than others. It's certainly true of all the U.S. cities the 
foundation considered (Boston, NYC, Washington, SF), but for some reason 
they considered *only* the most expensive U.S. cities. And those aren't 
even the ones with the best plane connections, supposedly a major reason 
for leaving Florida. The top 4 U.S. cities for international plane 
connections are Atlanta, Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles, of which 
only New York was considered. And Atlanta and Chicago are considerably 
cheaper than S.F. (especially Atlanta).
