This dovetails nicely into my idea to have the United States divided administratively into a collection of city-states. San Francisco would own most of NorCal, Chicago would own most of the Midwest, New York would own most of the mid-Atlantic (including Philadelphia). There would be about 10 city-states in total, with the main city acting as the administrative capital and having a rail transit system from the outlying areas of the state.
