You'll see that your first two suggestions are far from the areas of
high population density.

If the AOPA convention is too far from the population, there may not
be adequate attendance to attract commercial participants, and revenue
will be too feeble to cover costs.


But being on either coast means you are the maximum distance from one of
the areas of highest population density.
