All I'm looking for is an opinion that lies somewhere between "the city is doomed" and "the city is fine" and so far I'm coming up with nothing.

Well, common sense should be enough to tell you it is neither doomed nor fine. The worst case scenario (which I guess is, vaguely, “doom”) is not going to happen. And there is a problem, which takes “fine” out of the equation.
I don’t think anyone highlighting the problem in even the most extreme cases are describing a doomed future, nor do I think anyone suggesting that the problem is manageable or that you can still live/travel there with little or no impact on your is suggesting everything is fine.
There will be a tipping point at some point, and while it’s surprising it hasn’t happened yet, it will happen, and there will likely be some extreme measures to solve it.
