It's a false premise, cities do not grow endlessly. If you look at other cities they're actually losing population – NYC for example.

NYC is not losing population. [https://www.nyc.gov/assets/planning/downloads/pdf/our-work/r...]

There were two years during the pandemic when people moved out- because jobs let them - but people moved back and it has more than made up for it since.

Every major city in the world has seen significant population increases as mechanized farm work and fertilizers have removed the need for many farm workers, and economy activity has concentrated.

It’s been a consistent trend for almost 100 years.
