Ryan Robinson (the demographer) projected ~2025 I believe (back in 2016).

Of course, that was before San Jose saw negative growth in the most recent release (but I'm not sure how much I believe that, remember these are estimates with fairly large error bars, and I'm guessing that decline was just noise in those estimates).
Probably a _long_ time (if it ever happens) but it would be fun to see us, Dallas, and Fort Worth jump San Diego, and have 5 of the top 10 in Texas. We'd all need to step up our game (especially FW) to make sure we're not caught by Charlotte/Seattle/Denver.
