[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the inevitable consequence of Democratic, and some Republican, policies over the last few decades. What did you think would happen when you add 100 million people to a country? Where did you think they were going to go? Upzoning closer in suburban neighborhoods is one of the least-bad places to make room for them.

Also keep in mind, if the country keeps growing, that those future new people will also need somewhere to live. You're worried about today's densification, but you might just be able to stop tomorrow's. [/quote]

Without catastophic events like a meteor pounding into the earth or global Ebloa type pandemic, the human population is going to grow and how people put a roof over their head and food on the table is core. The GOP solution is "everyone pull themselves up by the bootstraps" while giving the wealthy tax breaks and corporations no taxes at all. Agribusiness receives more subsidies than any other sector except perhaps the defense contractors.

So you can complain about population growth but it is what it is. Combined with climate change which is eating away at livable places particualrly along the equator means we will have human migration as things get worse.

What is your solution other than, I have mine and want to pull up the ladder to prevent others from being able to survive?[/quote]
