And that is why Texas cities will continue to grow. They can infill, Dallas can better utilize their rail system, Houston can continue to expand theirs and will be in a better situation than 11 million person 1990 Los Angeles was.
Like you said, as the core becomes more expensive, it'll continue to densify along with suburban/exurban sprawl.
LA is contained by mountains, sea and deserts. The few areas that are sprawling outwards will continue to grow, but that is largely contained in Riverside County to the east.
