During the past ten years, the cities of Houston, Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Antonio, Austin and NYC all added more people than the city of LA. But the real anemia can be found in the metro growth:

Metro LA grew slightly faster than metro NYC which has a base that's a third bigger while experiencing slightly slower than Chicago. That ten year growth rate was 3.75%.........that's considered pretty anemic.
Population growth was slow because job creation is weak.
