Yes, a few decades ago the Dallas Houston Miami and Atlanta metros were roughly the same size. The two big Texas metros have just exploded since then and pulled away from the Atlanta and Miami metros. Similarly but on a smaller scale the Atlanta metro has pulled ahead of the Miami metro by increasing amounts.
Metro Miami was slightly larger than Metro Atlanta in the 2020 census, but metro Atlanta is estimated by the Census to be about 125,000 larger than metro Miami as of last July.

It’s inevitable the Texas cities will become very huge. They’re surrounded by flat, empty expanses, while Atlanta has hills, creeks, small towns, and oddly shaped plots going back a couple hundred years. Makes everything from major infrastructure to mass residential development more difficult.
Regardless, I wouldn’t want to trade places with either one!

That's exactly how I feel too. If the metro areas of Austin and San Antonio are to combine that's several decades down the road, IMO.
