It'll be interesting to see what working from home/remote work will do to the nations population distribution. Possibly tech will be the catalyst that leads to sizable density in some of our burbs.

Not really. By the definition I used, New York was actually the most populated metro area in Americas till 2010, with 21.358 million compared to 20.835 million of Mexico City and 20.317 million of São Paulo.
