Paris is also ~2000 sq miles while DC is only 60 sq miles.

I doubt Paris was anywhere near 60sq miles when it started out as a trading settlement in 250 BC.

DC is restricted to that 60 sq miles and can get no larger. It was actually a bit larger until they gave back all the land on the south side of the Potomac to Virginia.
