I'm inclined to think "nah, can't happen; no way people are paying for McMansions 60 miles from anything" but Americans just love their sprawl.

Those regional planning offices are so optimistic to the point of being useless.
To reach 17 million, Dallas would have to grow faster than it did between 1990-2020, which was an exceptional period.
Looking at absolute numbers, it’s an even more unreal: Dallas added 3.6 million and to meet this projection they would have to add almost 10 million, in a time the US is growing much less.
