Alternatively, the population practicing birth control could solve the crisis. Don't have kids if you don't own at least one home :)

Who do you think is going to do the work every facet of your life requires?

You're allowed to ruin your children's lives, no doubt about that.

> Don't have kids if you don't own at least one home

That isn't how human beings work, though, and it never has been. I tend to suspect that a person saying something like this has few if any deep relationships with people who cannot afford to own homes, because the statement shows no compassion for their experience.

Go to Kuwait, everyone, even commoners host their maids and cooks in their main residences. Maybe we'll see a mainstream return to these arrangements in the States.

Better to be alive, though, than simply never born in order to protect airbnb, as you would prefer.

It's not even poor people, in some "advanced economies" we're getting to a point where income means very little, and inheriting means a lot. I've only seen such a lack of empathy in teenagers or silver spoons.

>>popcal+(OP)
We should at least stop treating population growth as an economic necessity (mostly because of corporations and the need to service a debt bubble).

Where it ends up in the extreme case is people living on top of each other.

That is a worse system, and this public policy change is preferable to poor people having to be live in workers.

>>popcal+T1
Your "everyone" does not seem to include the maids and cooks, almost as if you consider them nobodies.

The end result will be mass, society-wide indentured servitude. I say give it one century without any major paradigm shift (e.g. Industrial Revolution/geopolitical unrest).

Modern slavery comes to mind.
