[opinions snipped]
I agree with pretty much all the opinions you said above. Well said.
Especially relevant is that it's not at all clear city which would be
better for advocacy in the end, and that it's really unrelated to
DebConf's primary purposes anyway. I go to DebConf to network with other
Debian developers, to hack, and generally move the project forward in
various ways. Advocacy is nice for Debian Day, but not as a criterion in
choosing the location.
