[Doctor Strange 2] Why does America Chavez's multiversal portal powers keeps taking her to New York?

Is about to be killed by a demon in the space between dimensions after just surviving an attempted murder by Doctor Strange = summons a portal (albeit she's not in control) that takes her straight to MCU New York right where another Strange lives.


Is in Nepal about to be killed by the Scarlet Witch = summons another portal that takes her through multiple universes where most appears to be another version of a New York avenue in the Multiverse (including pre-historical dinosaur NY, goth skeleton NY, futuristic underwater robotic NY, paint NY, cartoon NY, old black and white film NY, etc), until they land in... Eco-futuristic NY.

>(albeit she's not in control)

If you paid attention to the climactic conversation with "zombie" Strange (being controlled by actual Strange)  and America, he tells her that she WAS in control...

In that moment, she tells him that she can't control her power but Strange replies: "Yes, you can. You have been all along. Every time you opened a portal you sent us EXACTLY where we needed to go."

He even goes on to say that she was in control even the first time she used her power, as it led her to this moment.

So basically, on some subconscious level, she always chose where to go because it was where she NEEDED to be... ie: to find another version of Doctor Strange to help her... which (ultimately) means, going to New York.    Her pattern is wired to go to NY more frequently than any other place, so the slipping through multiple universes in one trip would suggest that NY is probably her "safe" place as she's most familiar with it.
