Why don't you google "overpopulation myth" and see what the other side has to say about that.
The world may seem crowded to you because you live in NYC. But you are perceiving your local population density as a worldwide problem.
It ain't.
We are grossly overpopulated, and have been since we became too many for naturally occurring game and plants to support.
The resulting scarcity forced us to the backbreaking labor of farming.
And is now forcing upon us the overly complex and high maintenance world of high technology.
That`s true, what may be getting crowded in one area doesn`t mean it is so for other areas. I tell you though, here in NYC it seems every freggin` mutt from every corner of the planet has to move here which I don`t get at all. It`s nuts here now.
Me, I`m stuck in this liberal cesspool, my family lives here, but these people.. why the hell would they move to a place that has one of the highest local taxes in the country not to mention one of the highest rents? I would think this would be one of the last places I would ever want to go if I was coming from another country looking for work.
People have told me "Oh it`s because there are lots of jobs here" but that really isn`t the case at all, there really isn`t a lot of jobs. I see tons of illegals everyday waiting on a corner for construction work and most of them are turned away, there are just too many. It`s just like that scene from that movie "On the waterfront"...Only a few are hired and the rest aren`t. I would think they`d have a much better chance in a small town where there is less competition.
