This thread resurrected after a couple years in a coma for some of theses comments. Chicago's Core is booming. There is no reason the Midwest will not grow more and sunbelt areas slow in coming decades.
The US Conference of Mayors released results on current and future trends. Chicagoland was given a higher % of growth then NYC and Philly metro's in the East.

Their 30-yr proposed results I found in the above link. You can download the study results with jobs to population proposals in that link and for the below list.
So a PDF does not need to be opened (unless you choose in the link) listing projected Top metros and populations in 2046.
Population Growth in the Next 30 Years (US conference of Mayors study)
METRO............................................. ..... 2016 millions.....2046 # Chg...... % change
New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA -------- 20,181 ----- 20,705 ------------
2.6
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA ----------- 13,347 ------14,863 -----------
11.4
Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX. ------------------- 7,246 ------11,383 ----------- 57.1
Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, TX ---------- 6,803 ------10,628 ----------- 56.2
Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN-WI ----------------- 9,517 ------10,280 -----------
8.0
Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA -----------------5,804 ------- 8,629 ----------- 48.7
Miami-Fort Lauderdale-West Palm Beach, FL ------ 6,090 ------- 8,101 ----------- 33.0
Washington-Arlington-Alex, DC-VA-MD-WV --------6,147 ------- 7,851 ----------- 27.7
Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, AZ ----------------------- 4,678 ------- 7,847 ----------- 67.8
Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA --------------4,518 --------7,155 ----------- 58.4
Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD -- 6,071 ------- 6,309 -----------
3.9
San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, CA --------------- 4,692 ------- 5,602 ----------- 19.4
Boston-Cambridge-Newton, MA-NH ----------------- 4,799 ------- 5,328 ----------- 11.0
Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA ----------------------- 3,804 ------- 4,928 ------------29.5
Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI ---------- 3,556 -------4,264 ------------19.9
Taking a broader look, population will grow by over 25% in 127 metro areas, over 50% in 36, and over 70% in 8 over the next 30 years. By 2046, 72 metros will have a population exceeding 1 million, compared to 2016 where only 53 achieved this feat. And by 2046, five metros will have over 10 million people – whereas just 2 were that large 30 years prior.
So those who want to LESSEN Chicago can GLOTE, BOAST and MOCK a Chicago and Midwest. But LA GROWTH IS STILL FAR LESS THEN OTHERS BY % IN EXPECTATIONS. Chicago given a higher one then today and besting mighty NYC metro.
For a Sunbelt city this suggested population % growth ----> for LA is MOST LIKELY THE LOWEST OF ALL THE MAJOR SUNBELT CITIES AND WHOLW WEST COAST.
