Why would Chicago want to be located on the East Coast? It would lose its reason for being, as a transport and finance center linking resources from the middle of the continent to points east and west via its position on the road network and Great Lakes.

Why would Chicago desire to be redundant on the East Coast which is already flush with population centers?

Pretty sure the Midwest is even more redundant just spread out over a much larger land mass than the Northeast. Most of Ohio outside the cities, and Illinois outside of Chicago area is redundant.
