When I was born the USA stood at 155 MM and things were a little bit too crowded for my liking back then.
Even back then our wilderness areas were getting ruined by **** and traffic in the big cities was horrible...but it's so much worse now.
There would be so much less competition for shrinking resources if we could shrink back.

This has already been projected.
The world's population increase stopped accelerating in the 1960's.

For the thicker individuals: re-read that.

The increase in population has actually slowed for the ensuing decades since.
It is expected to stop increasing and level off at about 9 billion people on Earth.
Supposedly, this will happen during the 2040's.

Whether or not the planet will then begin to rot and population level to decrease is yet to be conjectured seriously by the "experts".

ps
I have grown to despise the very word "sustainable".

The above doesn't take into consideration a mass extinction event.
(such as the current experimental pre-test).
