I wouldn't muck with the east coast states much. The borders might be off by a little here and there, but not by much.

However most of the western states were last carved up in 1850s. I don't think we need to redraw them every 30 years, but maybe every 150? Considering the last time we adjusted California's bounds the transcontinental railroad wasn't built yet.

Not sure I agree: NYC would highly benefit from improved tri-state metro area coordination. Plans like extending the 7 train to NJ's Secaucus Junction would be much easier to pass.

I'd expect DC to have similar problems.
