New expansion MLS Next HG clubs coming?

Everyone knows the fundamental problem is there are two isolated systems. ECNL and MLS next. Adding new clubs to either system would just dilute the talent pool further and compromise the competitiveness/quality of games. While top teams in each league has not enough good league matches per year without playing with the top teams in the other system, who are local to each other ironically. Also for the second divisions, Some relatively good MLSN ad and ECRL teams are wasting time traveling 4 hours one way to just play against a crappy team with > 10:0 scores. It’s a shame for US youth soccer.
Tournaments allow clubs from different leagues to play each other. The problem is the big leagues are after that business as well. Putting on "showcases" nonstop which are the same thing but without overall winners.

Every coach of the top teams knows who are the good teams locally, so sometimes they would organize ‘friendly games’ among each other. Which is good. But it doesn’t solve systemic issues. Every club/league/ organization is claiming player development as the top priority. But in reality everyone is just chasing the dollars/power
 
Here's the reality -Your sold on a dream of your son or daughter going pro or college ----big dream for lots of kids'
You even go so far as to paying for private school , hoping that will help your kids make it to a good college.

The past 5 years I have watched maybe 1-5 kids that we know go d1-d3.

You need to ask your directors what they are doing for your son/daughter when you shell out 5-15k a year club and 25k on private school

So Cal soccer is a business. You are their ATM.
