Will any U.S. city ever surpass NYC in terms of population? (farm, metropolitan)

Huge. If LA adds the I.E. then your good to go but NYC always converts more counties into its MSA.

Oh JUST counties? I thought the entire state of Connecticut was in the NYC MSA.

MSA: no (LOL LA is not in the "same ballpark" as NYC. It's 7 million smaller)
CSA: Yes
UA: no

Easily fixed. just restrict MSA to in state. Or extend it to regular commute zone.

I would point out that the east coast is pretty much one continuous strip city and will never be rivaled in the US.

And that is good as long as we can keep them all east of the Mississippi.

Half of CT, western half but the development into Hartford is stronger than the development into Philly.

Um no... not in our lifetimes. NYC will always be the biggest city in the US at least for the next 50 years.

Agreed.

Since NY is the best and everyone wants to live here.... nope

It'll take CENTURIES before any other city in this country even touches NYC.

50 years? I would think longer than that.
If the Wall Street collapses, some freak hurricane happened, and Russia sent some missile that only blows up about a 10 sq mi radius, NYC would still be ahead population wise. I've always wanted to know why NYC is split into boroughs, instead of just being five different cities? Of course I don't oppose boroughs, I just want to know why.
