If you look at the density map, you can see what I am talking about. Today that area has about 4.6M people in it based on the 2006 census.

You may anticipate massive growth for the Gulf Coast, but it still has no business being grouped with those other city clusters in this asinine list now nor in 30 years. After all, each of the other clusters is well over 10million right now(with the possible exception of the Northwest one), and the clusters towards the bottom of that range - "Appalachia, Sun Coast and Lone Star" - all have huge growth right now. No matter how much you think NO-Biloxi-Pensacola is going to grow in the future, it will not get in range of any of the other clusters on that list in 10,000 years.
