Pittsburgh does not have a water problem. Far from it! It has three huge rivers and lots of smaller ones, which are still big by western standards. It could probably sell water to Phoenix.

I picked Miami. It's another New Orleans waiting to happen.

Has New York always been this overcrowded? It seemed less overcrowded years ago.

Yep, unlike Houston, DT Miami is right on the coast. Worse of all, its suburbs are also along the coastline. They cannot build inland because the of the swamp. Hurricanes also come through Miami and the rest of Florida before landing at their final destination along the Gulf Coast. Just downright unsustainable.

Cleveland hasn't had a power rank since the 1940's. Anyway I say all of the above.

Los Angeles will definitely lose its rank if an earthquake hits the San Andreas Fault.

But seriously, I think that city is just becoming too much for its own good. It seems like its economy would overload or something by 2060.

It was paradise in 1960.
