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.

Something like 5% of land the USA is developed - which means in use by humans for agricutlural, industrial, commercial, military or residential use. 

Resources are not "shrinking." They are simply being wasted, mismanaged, not tapped - not even identified. 

By many accounts there are more trees in America today than there were when columbus landed in the americas. And this is due to human activity. You see, we plant trees - for all KINDS of reasons. Syrup. Fruit. Timber. Arboriculture. Municipal improvement.

Did you know that residential developers must meet quotas of native trees and bushes planted in the yards of every home they sell? Yes - they are required to landscape - they can't just sell you a home without vegetation. 

The trope that we are overpopulated is a purely left wing trope. I am always shocked when I see conservatives parroting that lie. It is anti-Christ in its inception and should be rejected. It calls God's work pollution. We are not a cancer. We are children of God. Only the devil wants you to see yourself and your kind as a problem.
