I think we can all agree that there are tangible benefits to urbanization and densification and to a point, population migration and growth can help with that. But growth has to be planned and managed or it will just be a hellish place no matter where it is.

At first it's fine but after a certain growth/saturation point, smart grow and maturity matter more. And really, any metro over 15 million is just too congested because of sheer volume.
We could see DFW do it comfortably though, they have two strong nobes and the potential for unchecked growth in all directions.
