The fact they are growing despite the many disincentives to stay (extremely high cost of living) there seem to indicate that those cities have something that is keeping people there.
Tokyo and New York City are growing despite the demographic pressures of Japan and the exodus of people from upstate New York.

They stay because the feds help cover their costs and clustering. If Toronto, etc. is so great then why is there is so little migration from within Canada to those cities? The idea that Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto are so much greater than other cities because they are bigger is old school European thinking. In reality they're not. Vancouver is a nice place to visit but to live there is a totally different story. Vastly overrated as is Toronto.
