DC Is a Horrible Capital for the United States - Let's Move It

Discover why Salina, Kansas belongs at the heart of American power in this deep-dive video that lays out 10 compelling reasons to relocate the United States capital from Washington, D.C. to the geographic center of the nation. We explore how Salina’s dramatically lower cost of living, affordable commercial real estate, and cheaper federal payroll could save taxpayers billions, while its location near the population and geographic center of the lower 48 slashes average travel times for every American. Learn how a Central Time Zone capital improves nationwide broadcast and business schedules, how the city’s high-plains elevation shields government operations from rising sea levels, hurricanes, and storm-surge flooding, and why shifting inland creates crucial strategic depth against cruise-missile threats. With two transcontinental railroads, the I-70/I-135 interstate junction, and a 12,300-foot runway ready for Air Force One, Salina already boasts the multimodal infrastructure a modern democracy demands.

The video also breaks down the massive federal construction savings, outlines how a purpose-built, net-zero green campus could replace D.C.’s aging grid, and shows how a once-in-a-generation public-works boom would revitalize the rural heartland by attracting high-skill jobs, tech firms, contractors, universities, and media outlets. We tackle the optics of fair representation beyond the East Coast, reveal how moving to Salina would rebalance the $759 billion federal procurement pie, and highlight the convenience of central-time press briefings and market releases. Whether you care about national security, climate resilience, economic development, or taxpayer value, this comprehensive case for a new U.S. capital in Salina, Kansas will challenge everything you thought you knew about the seat of American government—watch now to see the full analysis and join the conversation.
