Chicago-Houston-Seattle would order more variety among them. Especially Houston-Seattle. Philadelphia-SF-DC are less different.

For important DC is above all by abig margin. IG Houston would be 2nd for energy. Gap is still big. Anything with DC wins by default. An attack on the Bean or Space Needle wouldn’t be in the same stratosphere as terorist hitting the pentagon again. Like be for rea.

There’s probably more overlap in Houston than you think. Both port cities. Both huge and very important engineering hubs. I think Philly-SF-DC are arguably the most different trio. One gives you federal government, another tech. The difference is that the economic powerhouse of combining Seattle, Chicago and Houston are much greater than any SF gains from DC and Philly
