No, LA will never surpass NYC. For one, NYC is growing faster than LA right now. NYC gets far more immigrants, and has far more gentrification.
If you're talking metro area, NYC is surrounded by other MSAs much moreso than LA, so if the metropolitan area boundaries expand, it's more to NYC's benefit (potentially adding Philly, Hartford, Albany, Scranton, etc.)
I would probably go for a long walk off a short cliff if I was forced to live in either N.Y.C. or L.A.
"Pier". A long walk off a short pier. A pier is an elevated walkway extending from the land over the water, usually an ocean. An ocean is what prevents coastal CA from becoming a suffocating hellscape like AZ in the Summer. Happy belated Solstice.

Please, stop embarrassing yourself. I know what a pier is--I grew up in the Ocean State, and I used to live in South Florida. I'm certain I've fished and jumped off many more piers in my short lifetime than you have in your lifetime.

Then what the heck is taking "a long walk off a short cliff", and and why would you rather do that instead of diving off a pier into the cool ocean on a summer day?
And no, you have not jumped off a pier more than I have. I've got a police report to help prove it.

Is jumping of ocean piers a punishable offense in California like almost everything else?
Isn't LA just now about built-out within its city limits? That should slow it's growth down quite a bit. It certainly may grow, as NYC is growing, but not like sunbelt cities which expand so quickly because so much sprawl and new construction is taking place within the massive city limits of the central city as opposed to the suburbs.

People are still rapidly getting out of CA thanks to the crap economy and insane housing prices. And going to (wait for it) Arizona. And the entire state of AZ is not a hellscape. Phoenix and Tucson are pretty hot, but Flagstaff tends to have much milder weather, though not on California's level. I'd love to live in SD, but as long as California remains the way it is, I'd rather live in hot as hell Phoenix and just take weekend trips out to the beach.
