I'm biased since I grew up in Chicago, but I think Chicago could have handled it fine with the endless farmland to develop with housing especially if the companies put their offices in high rises downtown as Chicago has double decker trains that go from the suburbs to downtown [0]. We also love high rise architecture so there are plenty of high rises to live in downtown if you want to.

Your post seems to suggest that Chicago still has both available, which is (pleasantly) surprising to me as I was under the impression that every major american city had hit the limit on outward growth (usually because the roads are clogged by traffic and there's no political will to build more trains, so nobody wants more farmland developed).
