Which is DIRECTLY refuted by the statistics I have presented and you have failed to rebut.*GHETTOBLASTER » 23 Dec 2024, 1:30 am » wrote: ↑ My position has always been overpopulation harms quality of life.
Your rebuttal must address the argument, not flee it.
You've not at all. You ran an abortion of an argument about home ownership in a single country, and then you refuted your own argument in the very next post. Not that the argument would have been worth a damn if you HADN'T, since it was utterly irrelevant to the topic.*GHETTOBLASTER » 23 Dec 2024, 1:30 am » wrote: ↑ Your position has always been that population growth creates increased wealth and I've shown you several different ways where that is false.
Give me the bullet points of these arguments you believe refuted - nay, even bothered to address - my critique of your anti-population claim.
Location, location, location. Speculation, speculation, speculation. Social insanity in California is not a good reason to kill of the people in Bangladesh. And as you correctly point out, you can live anywhere you want. And you can even bitch about it while you live there - perfectly legal.*GHETTOBLASTER » 23 Dec 2024, 1:30 am » wrote: ↑ BTW..anyone who wishes to live in the small house you grew up in can still do so. Thanks to overpopulation ...I know of houses like yours that are going for close to a million bucks in California now.
Fewer people means less roads. You can google it. Toll roads are as old as written history - because roads have to be paid for, and fewer hands makes more work.*GHETTOBLASTER » 23 Dec 2024, 1:30 am » wrote: ↑ If our population ever decreases enough to make a measurable difference, the roads will seem larger, parking spaces in the city will be easier to find, commute times will drop in half, the highways wont wear out nearly as fast, real estate values will drop, demand for apartments to be constructed in Rural America will grind to a halt. The need for toll roads will certainly go away.
Wait - which people are you thinking about doing away with? We might be approaching synthesis.*GHETTOBLASTER » 23 Dec 2024, 1:30 am » wrote: ↑ Much uninhabited property will lay dormant and be snatched up for pennies by the owners of adjacent lots [which raises their standard of living].
We might even see a return of single bread winner households with less need for 2 incomes to keep up with what will be more abundant housing and a lower house payment.
I think audio books is a better idea than genocide.*GHETTOBLASTER » 23 Dec 2024, 1:30 am » wrote: ↑ There will be fewer people pumping water from our aquafers, less garbage generated, less pollution in the rivers, less poop to treat at the treatment plants.
None of our current technology shrinks though and people will actually have more time to themselves instead of wasting as much of their lives stuck in traffic
When you complain, ur friends roll their eyes and ur enemies rejoice
"Because I SAY I am" is a todler's tantrum, not "science"
You cannot betray me - only yourself, to me.
Who cuts off your dick is not a friend
An opinion you won't defend is not your own
Humanity's Law of the Jungle: Survival NOT of the fittest, but of the tribe
When peeing in the pool, stand on the edge
If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?
