I think that by 2100, L.A's Population will lower too about 1.5 million because of the drying Colorado river, and Chicago's population will exceed to about 4 to 5.5 million. L.A and Vegas are just ghost towns in the making and i live in L.A, sure the climate is nice but more than half of the city is just like Grand Theft Auto V. L.A is an ok city, but it has a bad vibe unlike Chicago.

California has 2 emerging megalopolises that will undoubtedly see major combining within the next 3 decades if criteria remains the same. This applies to many other areas of the country as well.
Anyway, back to the Golden State, I was talking with someone at SSP about CA and made these 2 charts describing 2012, we already see 2 cohesive emergent megas.
2012 GDP
2011-2012 Population and GDP Growth & Registered Automobiles(It was pertinent to the thread I was posting in)---there's a small goof in the LA GDP but it's not significant enough to change the scope of things.
I think the Bay Area is likely to overtake Chicago by then. If current numerical gains in the SF CSA continue it will overtake the Chicago CSA in the 2030s I think, that is without factoring in percentages, which would have SF passing Chicago earlier.

This is not easy to predict as economic trends can send cities into a boom or decline very quickly. Just look at what happened in the Rust Belt between 1950 and 1990.
I think Phoenix, Las Vegas, and other desert SW cities could plateau or slightly decline by mid-century. The most obvious reason is there isn't enough water for those cities to be sustainable even at the size they are today. Southern California I think could also be in trouble but desalination of seawater could possibly save them. I think Austin, Portland, Seattle, and Denver will be Tier II cities by mid-century, alongside Dallas, Philly, Houston, Atlanta, etc. Places like Louisville and Richmond will be today's Austin and Portland. I think Florida will stagnate for the most part.

Can you explain why you think Florida will "stagnate" ?
