NYC - Houston

Houston is the only major city that has a clear runway to grow as freaky big as New York. LA could double its population by building higher but the NIMBYs there would probably slam on those brakes. It could take 100 years but Houston is the next NYC.

How did you come to this comparison, if I may ask?

New York - Chicago (Mayor Cities in the East)
Louisville - Cincinnati (Cities on the Ohio River)
Dallas - Minneapolis (Both are the mayor city in Twin Cities)
Baltimore - Boston (Both have a big history, population peak in 1950 and are now wealthy)
Charleston - Savannah - New Orleans (Old Centres of the South)
Flint - Gary (Industrial Cities, today with high crime rates)
Camden - Newark - East St. Louis (Minor Cities to the next Metropolis, Philadelphia - New York - St. Louis)
Indianapolis - Columbus (one of the few cities in the rust belt with high pop growth, both are state capitals and have a road hub function --> Indianapolis "The Crossroads of America")
Honolulu - Miami (lying on the edge of US, other cultural feeling than in most US cities)

I always thought of Detroit and Pilly being long lost cousins People tend to forget that at one point in time in the 1920's the biggest Cities in the Country were NYC,Chicago,Philly, and Detroit. By 1950 when both Philly and Detroit topped out they had populations of 2.1/1.9 million people with equal sized city limits. Both very industrious. both with grand architecture.

Maybe Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis? Basically older river cities with somewhat similar metro populations.

Portland and Portland, but twins like Schwarzenegger and Devito.

Boston and San Francisco.
