My vote goes to St. Louis, at the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers and right in the geographical center of the lower 48. As water becomes more scarce I could see St. Louis experiencing a dramatic rebirth.
NYC and it isn't even close. Historically speaking, it has a good harbor which connects to the Atlantic and very far inland via the Hudson and Erie Canal to the Great Lakes. There's a reason it's called the Empire State.
San Francisco, and I don't think it's particularly close. If this country were to be invaded via sea, (and that was the anticipation in the 1930s) the entire Bay Area would be the logical entry point. Accordingly our military fortified the city back in the day. A lot of important land can be accessed through the San Francisco Bay.

Not really. There is no Navy capable of launching a sea invasion all the way to San Francisco. In todays world it is of no strategic value.
I would say DC has a great strategic location. It’s technically a Southern city, but I in the “Bos-Wash” corridor, so it has connections to the Northeast and South. So as far as east coast locations, I would say DC has a strategic location.
