I remember my roommate who said (in the '80s) that eventually the big cities would become one entity.

He called it Bos-Was. Meaning an almost singular bloc from Boston to DC.

Turns out he was right.

I recall an article in the late 1960's that predicted that most people would soon be living in three super-cities--Bos-Wash (Boston to Washington), Chi-Pitts (Chicago to Pittsburgh) and San-San (San Diego to Santa Rosa). However, these didn't quite pan out. There are lots of open spaces between Boston and Washington; much of "Chi-Pitts" has become the Rust Belt, and In California, the Bay Area and the Southland may have grown dramatically since the 1960's, but they are still separated by hundreds of miles of practically empty country.
