I agree, California has ENOUGH tournements (one of the reasons why I think the championships tanked so badly last year.)
My picks
Vancouver, BC
Detroit MI (or Cleveland, OH)
Rio de Janerio, Brazil

to organize a tournament you need money, money is provided by sponsors, if there are not sponsors there is not tournament, as simple as that.
Although it would be nice to have events in Africa or other areas with no tennis tournaments, it wouldn't be realistic.
In addition, you need infrastructure, you need a stadium, that's not cheap to build especially if you are going to use it for that only event, and it has to be maintaned, 365 days a year.
There are already too many tournaments in the US, if they add events they have to take others out.
Realisticaly, I think they should consider
Barcelona
Geneva
Montecarlo
Amsterdam
Prague
Buenos Aires would be a good choice, especially for a men's event since there are so many good argentinian male players, but with the current economic situation I don't think it's possible
Cairo already had an event and got cancelled
Mexico city would probably be a good choice
