I been to these super dense hellholes abroad like Shanghai, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. These are miserable places to be. Why do you think so many people from these places want to come to the US, Canada, or Australia? Did you ever consider that? The only reasons they work as well as they do is because they have a much more homogeneous population. If we had the same density here in the US, it would look like Beirut.
We don't have to have the desolation of central Alaska or the stench (yes the place actually spells bad) of Tokyo for prosperity. We were a prosperous country with 100, 120, 140 million. There is no reason to race to a billion. You know a country like Sweden has a very high standard of living despite doing many things stupidly. A lot of this has to do with the fact they don't have so many people jammed together. There is a happy medium.

Who said anything about racing to a billion? If you’d rather have 150 million Americans than 300 million Americans, then go out, kill someone and get back to me. If we each get one American apiece, that goal will be accomplished.
