This is pretty interesting. Now before San Antonio and Houston start to complain, this is in terms of percentage, not numeric. But WOW. Look at Dallas at 11+ MIL

Houston had a higher percentage AND numerical growth than ATL and DFW so I don't see why it is not on the list. Houston's % growth last decade was 25%, DFW was 22%

Not surprised to see Dallas and Austin listed. Two great places to live there. I could probably be very happy in either.

Did you read the article? If you did, you might have looked at the study and not just the pretty pictures. The study also lists the growth in the economies of every metro area in the country. San Jose, Ca is booming faster than China is lol.

I still don't get why anyone would move to Las Vegas.

That is something we will never know.

In fact, there is not one city on that list I would enjoy living in. Not now, and definitely not in 2040.

It appears many (if not all) of these cities have had a hard enough time accommodating (in terms of infrastructure, land-use planning, natural resources, etc.) the growth that they have experienced in the past few decades.

If these projections are correct, they're really going to have to come up with some creative solutions (and large amounts of capital improvement funding) to accommodate at least three more decades of similar growth.

Bingo. Especially water. To think we know what Phoenix will look like in 30 years is crazy, lest we not forget, Detroit metro was the Phoenix metro of 50 years ago... despite white flight issues, bet noone saw current day Detroit metro in the near future.
