The “Elephant in the room” question is...where will the food to feed these hordes come from? No farmers with no fertilizers and
No permits planting no crops to feed the hordes equals mass starvation. Thank your local wef affiliate. The REAL question is...will you let them take everything from you or will you join others to take everything from them? “Life is hard. It’s harder when you’re stupid” John Wayne

Sounds like the roller ball teams from the movie.

Not sure about Chicago. Both the city and the state of Illinois are shrinking right now.

The hilarious thing is the Democrat Left and their worldwide handlers have been trying for at least 30 years to get people into easily-controlled cities, and their idiotic COVID-19 “strategies” have left commercial buildings empty and begging for tenants, and anyone with a brain departed for greener pastures.

These people — old ‘60s and ‘70s “activists” making their “last stand,” and their indoctrinated, Adderalled, kids and grandkids, are simply, monumentally, stupid.

Four of the largest 11 cites in the country are in Texas with DFW, Houston, San Antonio and Austin all growing fast.

How is the African continent going to support that many people? Khartoum Sudan is basically in the middle of a desert. Will they be eating cockroaches?

I guess sometimes Three Million new citizens is a crowd.
After a certain point, the city is changed forever.

In 1968, I encountered an article that predicted that by the 21st century, most Americans would be living in three megalopolises—Boswash (Boston-Washington), Chipitz (Chicago-Pittsburgh) and Sansan (San Diego-Santa Rosa).

None of these panned out. Although the Washington, DC area has grown exponentially, the areas to the north don’t seem to have grown all that much—in fact, some of those areas are losing population.

Chipitz became the Rust Belt.

Sansan also never developed as was predicted. Instead, we have three smaller areas: Sansac (San Jose-Sacramento), OceanCity (Oceanside-National City) and Bantura (Banning-Ventura)—which can also be called Castamente (Castaic-San Clemente).

I’ve lived in the sprawl of Southern California, the sprawl eastward on Long Island, NY, I’ve lived in the Gateway Area of Portland, OR, and in the srawl of Thd Greater New OrleansMetropolis.

Y’ALL CAN HAVE IT!!!

I live in what is known as the ‘rural sprawl across the river from a big little town 4 hours drive from: Houston, New Orleans, Shreveport/Boosier City,, Jackson, Mi, Lafayette, LA,.

Like that song says, “Gimme that country side of life, so’s I can turn out right ...”

All the USA is in the northeast, much as it in now.

Keep them penned in there.

Tyler Durden is a nebulous man, if that is what he is. He’s been roaming around websites trying to find a home. Similar to Allahpundit, and both need a name verification.


:-)

You DO realize where the name Tyler Durden comes from, right?

(The first rule.....hint.)

This OP article is taken from Zero Hedge....where the Tyler’s (pen names, for several of the ZH authors) have resided, for years.

Are they any relation to Ed Anger?

(Ed Anger is a pseudonymous opinion columnist in the Weekly World News, a former U.S. tabloid, now a web site)

Mexico City is already on the list. It’s bigger than New York.

Toronto is by most counts bigger than Chicago, though the Chicago metropolitan area is bigger than Toronto’s. I would have thought that Toronto would hit 10 million before Chicago, but if Biden’s immigration policy continues maybe not. Chicago was the fifth largest city in the world in 1900. It will never be that important again.

Metro Houston and Metro Dallas-Fort Worth will make it to 10 million, but a lot depends on how the statistics are compiled. The way things are going, it seems like more American metropolitan areas will be over 10 million in 2100, but they’ll still be a lot smaller than foreign mega cities.
