Many of these locations could have problems with weather especially the ones near coast lines where big storms sometimes visit. Snow usually isn't a problem. Earthquakes are unpredictable in the medium term. So just build the line on solid ground away from fault lines if possible.
Some of these on my list are business hubs as well as vacation destinations. That would get more passengers.
It would be ideal if there were parallel tubes between some of these locations to go coast to coast non-stop. There would need to be a direct route between New York and Los Angeles. That would make an ideal starting point for such a line.
There is no solid ground away from fault lines on the west coast. San Diego to Vancouver, BC is pretty much all along San Andreas (& Co) and the Cascade fault line. That said, if BART could be built to withstand quakes, and it did come out of the Loma Prieta with only a one-hour stoppage for inspection twenty-five years ago, then I'm sure the hyperloop could also be constructed to deal with a bit of shaking. Now as to whether is should or will be constructed...
