The Next New York
    #24493731 - 07/19/17 08:30 AM (6 years, 8 months ago)

I was thinkin about cities. How they start as nothing, but eventually get developed into massive concrete mazes with millions of souls shoved into them.

So, what do you think will be the next major city (United States) that isn't one yet? Will it be a gradual process? Will it undergo massive development over a short period of time, like Dubai? Does the city already exist, or will it be placed on new land?

With the slowly rising tides, coastal cities are in danger for their future. I would have to imagine that the country has plans to develop major cities inland.

Or maybe this is just a  weird concept and I have no idea how land development works.

Anyway, I think it'll be somewhere in Texas. Out of the top 10 fastest growing cities in the US, 6 of them are in Texas. It also would be a good location for the next major city. It is in the middle of the country, very large, has a huge population, and already has a few major cities (Houston, Austin, Dallas)

Cities are more likely to expand than pop up.

Our city will be a suburb of Cleveland someday.

Most of the time, yes. But internationally, it isnt too uncommon for a government to write up plans for a city and develop it. For example, the ghost cities in China, and as I said earlier, Dubai, which was just sand no more than a couple decades ago. Las Vegas is an example of this happening in America, though it was more the mob that created it than the US gov't

I think, given the circumstances with the tides, the US may look into a similar development scheme in the coming decades

All cities are shit in my opinion.  We need more desolate land with a once house every hundred miles.  I'd like to live there.

It definitely exists.. You can live like that but I feel like it would get pretty rough after awhile. We crave human interaction, even if it's just passing by crowds of complete strangers.
I personally enjoy cities. Not living in them, but living very near them for the amenities/site seeing. I think cities can be done right. Like Charleston, SC; or  Portland, OR

Never been to either.

It's hard to get into or even drive by some cities.

I might have to move to Chicago in the future.  Looking like some crack infested black ghetto for me!

You dont gotta do that, man. You can live the way you want, and it isnt that expensive. In fact I would imagine that living in a house in a more desolate area would cost a small fraction of what it would cost to be miserable in Chicago

It's about when I am all alone without family.  Have a sister in chicago.  Looking like an orphaned senior situation is fruiting.

Buford, Wyoming will be a metropolis in 2075

Somebody new moved in late 2016 and the entire city doubled in population overnight

I dont like the city

i live about 100 miles away
then like 30 mile away there are houses that are all bunched up
then where I live is suburbia
and there are still too many people

if you don't like driving sure live in the city but it's freaking stupid

I think your theory that it will be in Texas is possible. Denver Colorado is also experiencing some insane growth. If the coasts get flooded its possible Denver will really take off.

I could go with Denver if one considers a map like this..  all the southern cities will empty, and all the northern ones will boom.

I heard sometime ago that Laredo, TX was the fastest-growing (or second fastest-growing) city in the U.S.  I am not sure whether that has changed although I wouldn't expect it to.  It is called Gateway to Mexico and has benefit a lot from NAFTA.

Kinda depends on your definition of a major city - since you mention New York and Dubai which aren't really at all in the same category, Dubai is flashy - but it's less of a major city than Seattle even. New York, on the other hand, has a population about 10x and an economy about 14x the size. The next city to move into dat LA/Chicago/NYC echelon will probably be Houston/Dallas/Seattle/Phoenix/Denver ... all with pretty rapid growth.
