Phoenix debatably has the best preforming economy in the US right now. There’s no trash to talk.
Not even close. According to this, it has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. Keep in mind, this was before the Coronavirus outbreak.

The Bay Area is already over 10 million, the OMB just hasnt caught up yet.
Im fairly certain the Bay Area CSA will be adding Salinas(Monterey County) sooner than later. Neighboring Santa Cruz is already part of the Bay Area, so is San Benito, and now so is Merced.
Monterey County is currently working on a commuter rail to the Bay Area to alleviate the horrendously terrible traffic which requires going over a mountain pass that actually snows from time to time!

Nice shot. I remember that road well from my younger years growing up in Los Gatos. Thanks for sharing.
That's only been over the past 4 years or so. DC MSA at the beginning of the decade added more people than Atlanta MSA did for a couple of years, around 2012-2014 they added around the same amount of people. Towards 2016 and beyond is when DC's dropped more due to less int'l migrants. That trend would have to continue for well over a decade every year until Atlanta MSA catches it. Let's also remember the square milage difference in both MSA's. I welcome the growth in metro Atlanta, hopefully it has an affect on that state politically.
Historically Atlanta has grown more and I feel the early 2010s growth in DC was just a recession bump, a recession that hit Atlanta especially hard.

We like to talk Smack about Atlanta and Phoenix etc on this website. But they are Showing out with these numbers
Really shouldn't be because since 1992, Harris County has had positive domestic growth only 7 times and 5 of those after 2010.
I'm surprised at that unemployment rate for Phoenix. Seems strange considering the phenomenal job and population growth. Like some numbers haven't caught up.
I know it's growing in finance, insurance, healthcare, and tech.
Now that we approaching the decennial census I don't see any reason why these metro areas need to continue being separate:
San Francisco, San Jose, and Vallejo
Atlanta and Gainsville
Raleigh and Durham
Greensboro and Winston-Salem
