Chicago Looks like the 2nd biggest city in America by Picture 100% it does.That's something LA needs to improve its downtown area and La is to dam sprawled so everything is to spreaded out,Chicago is smaller in city limits and is not sprawled so is much denser than LA but its a Different story Metro Wise.

not entirely. The Chicago grid continues into all the bordering suburbs and most of the suburbs surrounding them. It's not really until you get into truly upscale suburbs, Wilmette, Winnetka, Barrington, etc.
The 8.8 million people living in urban Chicago have a decent density number..I think its something close to 5,000 per square mile. I may be wrong...but I know its higher than 4,000.
Well this census it will be at 3,000,000 . I can't wait to see what they have it at. If they have Chicago lower than 3,000,000, we know they are biased. I can see 2,999,999, but anything less is wrong. that means the metro may exceed 10,000,000...super city status .
In my opinion, Chicago has already reached that "super city" status. It controls a large region that is already well over 10 million (if you include Milwaukee).
