- encoderer 9y agoBut there are major cities in those states not included in his Diamond. Most notably: Philadelphia, Springfield, Peoria, Lansing, MI, Grand Rapids, Mich, etc

- tzs 9y agoThat was his point. The article said that a region it outlines has an economy bigger than California. But adding up the GDP [1] of all the states that overlap that region gives an economy about the size of California's. Philly is in a state that overlaps the region, but is not in the region. Hence, adding up the state GDPs overestimates the GDP of the region by at least the GDP of Philly. [1] technically, I believe it is actually called the GSP (Gross State Product) in this case.
