As for the Metro area, we all know Hispanics are the fastest growing demographic group and now the majority in the LA metro, there's no way Chicago can catch up LA in terms of population growth .

IIRC illegal immigration has been estimated to have dropped 50% this year, due to the economy. If our economic woes continue for several more years (and I think they will), it will be interesting to see the impact on the 2010 census compared against projections.
And if Los Angeles has that many people, it means folks will be staying there instead of migrating and infesting elsewhere, so I say good on them for keeping them in SoCal.
No no no. I don't know how you see any of this happening. First, Chicago is never, ever going to catch up to LA (at least in our lifetimes). For one, Chicago is already more than a million behind Los Angeles. Two, Los Angeles has more room in its city limits, thus more room for growth. Last, Los Angeles is growing A LOT faster than Chicago.
I see just as many people running away from L.A. as I do gravitating towards it. Seems only illegals are attracted to L.A. anymore these days.
Anyways, Chicago has plenty of room to grow within its city limits. You see, here we do things the correct way in the big city-- we build UP.

All you have to say for anything is either ridicule others for their opinions/facts and glorify Chicago. You really think L.A. city is building outwards rather than up?? "We do things"?? all you do is log on to this site and talk nonesence. Sorry for being rude but your opinion was worthless so why waste your time and post it.

I'd like to contest this. I really like Los Angeles, for its faults as well as its advantages. But seriously, I heavily doubt that Los Angeles has more room to build in city limits. It's pretty packed.
LA will be crammed with illegals in the near future, nothing more, nothing less. no room to expand either, it's completely trapped by mountains. Chicago is trapped by what? suburbs? Please, Mayor Daley will build over those as if they were projects. It wouldn't surprise me if Chicago sucks up Evanston maybe one day.
And Houston has no chance of surpassing Chicago... ever. Not at this rate.
who cares about pop. you guys pretty much have the tallest, darkest, meanest towers in america.
with that, people will flock
