I didn't know that Pensacola's metro is that large. That's actually larger than Savannah's, which is a bit more on the "impressive" side.
1: Florida metros tend to be bigger than you'd think.
2: Savannah is a notably smaller metro than one'd think. Population-wise, it's Savannah, Biloxi, Corpus Christi, Mobile, Myrtle Beach, and Pensacola, but they're all pretty similar in population. Though, if considering combined statistical areas, Savannah jumps to number two after Mobile.
*Nashville will have passed Charlotte by 2025 with their continuing boom
*Austin has bolted up past so many cities in the past decade or so, the growth is unbelievable
*Miami has surged past Chicago to claim the #2 spot in the US
*NYC is super far out of reach and in the lead, which I imagine it will keep, over the next 60-70 years+ at least
I know I said it last time, but when looking at under construction numbers per capita, I find LA to be wildly low. Do earthquakes still make it that much cost-prohibitive to build?
Actually, since JC is in the NYC metro, JC's count is included in the NYC totals, I bet.
You know what is even crazier, if they went out to 40 miles, they would have captured another 26 alone in New Brunswick. 14 in the East Brunswick/North Brunswick/Somerset area and the rest in the other half of Stamford, Norwalk. Asbury Park and Dover. Perhaps another 100 more.

I think last time I checked, the very vast majority of construction in LA were 5 story buildings and SFH still.
Maybe a little to do with the earthquakes, a bit of NIMBYism, a bit of lack of space, and a bit of cost restraints would be my best guess.
