Who thinks that San Diego will join the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Riverside Combined Statistical Area to form something like the Los Angeles-Long Beach-San Diego CSA after this previous decade?
If that happens, then NY and Philly would HAVE to be also put together. NY and Philly are 30 miles closer to each other than LA is to SD and there is not a huge military base blocking anything.

Sorry I didnt see this post before my reply but honestly NYC and Philly are half the distance with nearly twice the population and are already completely overlapped with more cohesive density than attached DC and Baltimore but there is slightly more distance than there. Also there are more people that live between NYC and Philly than San Diego and Orange county combined - and to your point no military base is true though you could argue fort Dix in Burlington County, but most of the developed area is west of there, the NJ Turnpike which most people believe is the space that connects these avoids the area that is developed that already connects them
No Philly and NY would be put together before that would happen
Not if we're going by the commuter numbers which is how areas are combined. It doesnt look like NY and Philly will ever combine if the requirement remains 15% of all workers from Philly working in NY. Right now its probably not even 1%.
LA+SD suffer much the same fate. Today if its over 2% Id be surprised.
People are too fixated on development but that has very litte to do with how areas are combined.
LA stands a much better chance of adding Bakersfield.
