Local poor people lose out, and rich developed countries get the resource and are seldom even aware where it came from. You might think there is no food problem, because your store is always stocked, but that food came from somewhere --- maybe right out of someone elses mouth.

Now LA draws water from hundreds of miles away, and draws other resources from all over the planet.
Overpopulation is the root of all the other enviromental problems. There is not enough food, water, fuel and other resources for all the people. In the developed world, our economies allow us to get those resources from other places, but all the money in the world won't buy us any more when the planet just plain runs out.More of the same: Renger\'s Rantings

how about rather than western countries wasting massive budgets on the military, we invest it in nations that need it. then help them stabalise their economies and develop themselves.
then we will have places to migrate.
i also think there should be no social benefits for people who get pregnent and are under 21 in the uk.
and benefits should be drastically cut after the first child, with nothing for the 3rd child and any after.
you want kids you should be able to pay for them

What will we do about Population Growth/Overcrowding??
Their is still enough room for everybody, Even if the population doubles, tripples, the major citties will build bigger housing more everything, We wont have yards or things like that anymore but, people who live in Shanghigh usualy dont even have kitchens just a closet with a bed and a toilet. In Tokyo they are building the first building city, I think in the next 100 years or so these building cities will be everywhere. If the Space aliens or the Religons dont kill us then Sky City in Japan is the future. It is only logical before we can colinize space we will have to live here.
Sky City 1000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
it says a possible future but they have already laid out foundation and started building, it is very impresive, everything from water purification, housing and food distibution, jobs, shops, are their. No need for a car if you work, and live in the sky city.the cure for cancer is real

Things like the Sky City relieve the problems of overcrowding, not the problems of overpopulation. We will always have enough room to put people, even without things like the Sky City. But we will not always have enough food, water and energy if population keeps growing.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

What will we do about Population Growth/Overcrowding??
United States:
Population 302,993,000
Land Area 3,793,079
China:
Population 1,321,851,888
Land Area 3,704,427
in other words, at least here, theres still A LOT of room left. Not really worried about overcrowding
