Given the longer-term treasury rates increasing, is there a difference between short and long term TIPS?

For about a year I've had my medium term savings in VTIP, which is short term inflation-protected securities (<5 year duration). Now that the whole bond market yield is jumping in expectation of additional inflation and stability, am I correct in assuming the longer term TIPs (in this case, VTP) will perform better since they cover a broader range of durations?

Or is buying TIPs through an ETF not as subject to the same amount of interest rate chaos that other bonds are facing?

Why isn't there a major port city here?

While the distance between east coast cities isn't so great now, when they were founded centuries ago, the gap between Philly and Baltimore (~90 miles) would have been huge. How come there didn't come to be a port city on par with Baltimore or Philadelphia that spanned the 30-mile gap between the Chesapeake Bay and Delaware River?

Given that they put a canal there in modern times, it seems at the very least it would have save significant overlanding and sailing around the peninsula to move goods between the two cities.

Doesn't that make them substantially harder to keep clean, and cause longer downtimes if the glass were broken? I can understand the door being clear to see if anyone's inside, but why the full surround view?
