I know this may seem to be an odd question but do any of you see New York, Philadelphia or any of the cities in the BosWash corridor becoming a super CSA?
DC-Baltimore and Boston-Providence are already CSAs, so yeah.
Will NYC-Philly ever be a CSA? Maybe. Hartford is a possibility too.

I wonder how much the Bay Area’s insane housing costs have contributed to the CSA expansion. Altamont Pass is jammed at 5:00am with people pushed out to more or less Stockton commuting to SV or the BART station in Pleasanton to catch the train the rest of the way in. I saw a good story on it where people were waking up at 3:30am to get home by 7:00pm.
Less expensive housing is one reason CA state politicians keep pushing the world’s most expensive commuter rail project (aka California High Speed Rail). Although less expensive, housing still doesn’t come cheap in the Cental Valley. It will be interesting to see how high speed rail affects commuting patterns in the future.

With this, we can basically expand to every CA metro. I don't know how other metros do it but everybody either works "in sf" or "in sac".
