Which city has had the most movies set (but obviously not filmed) there?

I'm going to nominate Seattle. Scriptwriters seem to love placing any tech-related stories in Seattle not realizing that it has a very distinctive look and filming in Vancouver just doesn't cut it.

I just finished watching "Kyle XY" where they have an absolutely absurd plot point revolving around it not raining in Seattle for more than a month. And in every scene they have sunlight streaming through the windows. I lived there seventeen years and never once saw sunlight streaming anywhere. And they find him in a huge deciduous forest in the *evergreen* state.

Exhibit B: "Firewall" The Harrison Ford movie from last year. The bank is set in a downtown area where the building are much too tall and close together. People who haven't been there don't appreciate what a small city it is.

Exhibit C: "Ten Things I Hate About You" Apart from some master shots from helicopters, pretty obviously not Seattle (again too much sunlight) and where the hell did they get "cowboys" from?
