The growth in the Golden Horseshoe verses Chicagoland is not even comparable.

Except american cities are massively sprawlier than Canadian ones. Just because two things are the same area doesn't mean they operate the same way. The LA CSA is close to the area of Belgium. Doesn't mean Brussels can claim the whole country as their metro. Same with, say Nuremberg vs. all of Bavaria （which is also about the area of the LA CSA too).
