This is definitely not true about Los Angeles or Chicago.
In all three cities they are already tearing down buildings to make way for larger, more dense and (in Los Angeles' case) more mixed use.
I would imagine the city with the least change over the next 100 years is New York, followed by Chicago, followed by Los Angeles - this simply because LA has the most room for change (though Chicago certainly has plenty of open space for new development too).
As far as skylines, Los Angeles will probably look more like Chicago, Chicago more like Manhattan, and NYC - who knows maybe Brooklyn will become Manhattan 2.0 in terms of high-rises (hope not).
Agreed. There are a lot of large surface parking lots surrounding Chicago's downtown, and there are a lot of them in and around LA's.
I would say Chicago and LA's skylines are going to vastly improve in the coming decades.

Keep in mind that even with perceived limited space, NYC still builds more new highrises and skyscrapers than LA and Chicago combined and probably more skyscrapers than the whole United States.

True but the change is less dramatic as there is already a larger base of high-rises that these new high-rises are being added too.
There will be a hyperloop going from LA to Chicago to NYC. We'll all be one city commuting between the 3 in one day.
