Not that I disagree with you, all of those things would be nice. But its kind of like the "let them eat cake" proposal. - Who is going to pay for this, when the glut of your most productive workers (tax base) is about to retire. US demographics don't support a larger tax base, but a smaller into the near future. - People don't have babies because they live in cities. And cities are expensive to live, and space is at a premium. US already has near the highest standard of living in the world. Yet it can't overcome cities being expensive places to live. This is kind of universal. - We are facing a period where Globalization is coming under sever strain. This points to lower standards of living in the future not higher. Look at the price of energy in Europe for instance. All the things you propose would require more people to pay more taxes, at a time when inflation and cost of living is going up. I do believe that the birth rate will go up, but that might be if the supply chains break apart due to conflicts around the world. Then more people will be forced to move out to country just to survive. And having more space would lead to more babies being born, since kids are useful on farms.
