Of course, nobody can see the future.
Oh - never quote Wiki. Heck, anyone can go in there and change the numbers.

I agree on both counts.
Never quote Wiki
Predicting 32 years into the future on absolutes, or based on past performance, is limited in it's usefulness. Hell, there might be a linear park from San Antonio to Dallas by then.
Safe to say both cities will grow, as well other cities elsewhere, and in between, and that growth better be planned for, both for the cities, and the region as a whole.
