These cities are all fast-growing, but the article is really gushing over these 4 cities like they are the next New York City.
I don't think New York City or LA -- or even San Francisco -- have much to worry about when it comes to these cities "replacing them." Save for a catastrophic event, these cities will all co-exist well together, and least for the next 100 years or so.
It's interesting that the article didn't include Atlanta in its top 4--kind of odd, honestly. Atlanta sits right with DFW, Houston and Miami in terms of city tiers. Nashville is sort of the outlier here. It's much smaller--and definitely growing--but not in the same league as these others.
I totally agree with you here, don't seen any of these cities replacing any of these cities (NY, LA, SanFran). They may be booming cities in their own right but definitely no way replacing them, their legacy or economy. As far as Atlanta is concerned, it may be something deeper why it didn't make the list, to be honest i could think of a few others that should have made the list as well. It has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative because they are all Liberal blue cities in red states. Miami may be the most conservative of them all to be honest...

Also odd that Atlanta is not mentioned, perhaps it's become too liberal for the Daily Mail, lol.
The article is from Barron’s. I believe the OP added a link from Daily Mail which reprinted the full article (vs needing a subscription with Barron’s to read its entirety)
Atlanta, Charlotte, RDU…and that’s just in the southeast.

The four Sun Belt cities featured in the Barron’s article very likely were picked because Barron’s (which is a sister publication of the Wall Street Journal, if I’m correct) is a conservative business publication and because those four cities are located in safely Republican controlled high-growth Sun Belt states with no state income tax and generally exceedingly business-friendly policies in Texas, Florida and Tennessee.
Very fast-growing economically strong Sun Belt metros like Atlanta, Phoenix, Charlotte and Raleigh/Durham very likely were passed over for a feature in this type of article because the historically deeply conservative Sun Belt states those metros are located in (Georgia, Arizona and North Carolina, respectively) no longer seem to be the safely-Republican controlled states that they once may have been with enough Democratic-leaning voters having moved into those states to give them a noticeably purple tint in major elections.

The sunbelt cities are generally not doing much in terms of innovation or new intellectual property creation.
SV is part of the Sunbelt.
