Buffalo, NY is 625 miles from my home in the Maine - mostly due west. Philly is a bit closer, but certainly in a mid-Atlantic state, not part of the northeast. I've never seen a national in the northeast and I've been going to nationals since the early 80's. So, then Compton would be the South West, I guess. We've never had a National there either. And, I hope we never do. I would rather travel to a National. But, I do think California should have one. I would be there, but as I said, I willl be there no matter where it is.
