[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe instead of more housing we should look at fewer people? How many IS sustainable? Can we incentivize a lower population overall?[/quote] This is the way. The problem is the entire economy is based on endless growth, so there would be an "adjustment" at first. [/quote] If you grew up in the county and want to now raise your family in the county that is growth. If your parents moved to the county that was growth too. If your kids one day want to have their families in the county, that is growth as well. And not to mention the fact that other people wanting to live here is also growth. All of this is good. All sorts of problems come with de-growth -- deficits, decaying and incorrectly sized infrastructure, deferred maintenance, etc...[/quote]
