Every single time. Would be nice to at least get some cities that don't already have a franchise?

Yes, I'd rather have some town I've never heard of in Alabama than seeing Brooklyn over and over.
I think it is important to remember that from a realistic standpoint market size is vital. While it might be interesting to put a team in Topeka, it requires the suspension of belief that I can’t accept. There are really only, maybe 20 markets able to support a MLB team. It might be interesting to put a team in a foreign city.
