Do you have any idea how many levels of "unsustainability" we have disproved? How many times we have hit the expert-predicted human population ceiling and burst through it - only to see life spans and overall human wellbeing INCREASE - to see poverty and disease diminish globally?

Your view of sustainability involves a  qualitiy of life that is below my standards. I want no part of mere survivability / mediocre existence /society full of Dejected Renters For Life.
I would love to see a day come when all the USSR style housing complexes could be bulldozed and replaced with the open fields that were there just last week.
My dream of rolling back to 155MM has more people able to afford single family homes on nice lots and with more mothers able to devote more time to raising health children.
Much of our infrastructure would remain intact, but our powerplants wouldn't be running  as hard, our grid would have many more miles of spare copper to serve as back up, our lands would need to be farmed as intensively.
We wouldn't have hunting and fishing shut downs or so tightly regulated.
