Denver would be a good spot for the capital. It's a beautiful city and would a lot more central than DC. The current capital is quickly becoming farther and father from the center of population which makes it harder and harder for the average American to visit it.

It is far easier to arrange a trip from Honolulu to DC today than from Atlanta to DC in 1800.  Possibly 1900.

No one wants to live in f[inks]ing Kansas City. You realize that hundreds of thousands of people (and their families) have to willingly live in and around whatever city is selected, right?

No one would want to live in Washington either if it wasn't the nation's capital.

Are you saying a 16 hour flight is harder than a 4-5 day train ride you'd get from a much closer city 1900?
