> A review of the Top 10 most populous U.S. cities indicates only half of them have obtained .gov domains, including Chicago, Dallas, Phoenix, San Antonio, and San Diego.
> Yes, you read that right: houston.gov, losangeles.gov, newyorkcity.gov, and philadelphia.gov are all still available. As is the .gov for San Jose, Calif., the economic, cultural and political center of Silicon Valley.
A minor nit: Many of these cities do have a .gov domain. For example, NYC has nyc.gov. So, I would suspect (or I’d hope) the GSA wouldn’t issue newyorkcity.gov to a random fraudster as easily.
Houston has houstontx.gov.
Philadelphia has phila.gov.
San Jose has sanjoseca.gov.
LA has .. lacity.org? That’s a bit unexpected.
Some cities may also use a subdomain of their states domain, which may or may not be a .gov.
