This might be a daft question, because I'm more a creative type than a technical one, but why does the seed node have to be in NYC if it's a flight away ? As long as it's one of several scattered across the globe, why can't it be at your place, or at least in the same town so that you can do any maintenance work yourself (or at least get it done locally) ?

Generally those nodes are best to be placed near those who need them. That's pretty much I mean writing about organic growth of the network. Developer needs them - developer runs them, etc.
I have a few. I’m getting colocation in New York for other reasons and I was planning on putting up a Hive Seed node here to help the network out. I live in Chicgao(usually, I’m out on the east coast this year) and I do have a node hosted in Chicago. I’m probably one of the few users with multiple seed nodes. With remote management of servers, it’s usually not much work that needs to be done locally, only when hardware fails, which if properly planned for, doesn’t need to be a big deal.
Ah, that makes sense - thank you 😀
