If you're not growing, you're dying. Just a reality. For as big a footprint the city has, that number isn't that big. I drive all over the DFW region and the Westoplex is a way better drive. Seems like a happier place as well.
Also, I would take the NCTCOG estimates and the academic estimate with a grain of salt and throw it over your shoulder. They almost never pan out at the rate those bookworms claim. Rules on how cities are allowed to annex have changed quite a bit. So it's also a shifting of some numbers.

Unfortunately the biggest tower under construction right now will have a big aTm on it.

DFW population is 8.3 million. Number one in the state and 4 in the country.
It's just getting too damn big. Great for business, [ Finebaum ]ty for just about everything else. Tract home after tract home, as far as the eye can see, in the outer suburbs.
I'm envious of my friends who live in smallish towns. I'm not really able to do so right now, but someday....

Well the Omni was going to build a 400 bed addition, but that has been paused due to the interest rates, and economic uncertainty.

1 million is misleading (kind of). The way the city boundaries are technically laid out is insanely large. As far north as Roanoke/TMS, south as Burleson, west as Aledo, and east as Arlington. So it’s spatially larger than Dallas.

We’re screwed!
It was getting to damn big 30 years back. In the early 90s Ft worth was around 600k. When I was driving to work at 6AM in '91 and the temp was regularly 85 to 90 degrees that is when I said I've had enough.
The answer is the Utopian 150k to 400 k pop community that is growing like wildfire. There is about half a dozen of those municipalities, and I'm focused upon those.

In 1991, I would commute from the west side of Fort Worth to Beltline and the NDTW.
That commute would take several hours today.

Not to offend any imports, but SO MANY of those added 400,000 are transplants. It’s insane.

Dallas pretty much land locked by surrounding suburbs. No where to build new housing except vertically.
