Times looking at regional editions even as it tries to ditch the Globe

The Times itself reports the paper is planning a San Francisco edition featuring local news - as is the Wall Street Journal:
In addition to planning a San Francisco edition, The Times is exploring the prospects for regional editions based in other cities.
Via John Carroll, already wondering whether the Times would unload the Globe, then promptly launch a Boston edition (then again, anybody remember when the Times tried a New England section?).

New York edition of the NYTimes?
Doesn't this already exist, with more NYC metropolitan news and advertising than the 'national edition' that is published for the rest of the country?
That would be hilarious
But I think the story at that point was referring to the Journal.
My declining literacy
Yeah, I guess I didn't read that carefully enough. All I saw was "The paper, based in New York" ... and jumped to the wrong conclusion.
(But can someone who knows for sure confirm that the NYC and national editions of the NYTimes are different, and that we get the national edition up here?)
NYT California
The Times had a West Coast edition for a while (late '60s IIRC) and lost a lot of money on it because they couldn't attract advertisers.
