The population simply doesn't grow once and stop.

The population simply doesn't grow once and stop.
- globular-toast 2y agoActually it does. UK population growth is due to immigration.
- wruza 2y agoMore grass -> more rabbits -> less grass -> less rabbits -> (loop). You can mix different rabbits in, but the cycle is fundamental.
- lores 2y agoHumans aren't rabbits. Humans tend to have children in inverse proportion to the amount of grass, poorer people having more children than richer ones. Of course it's not a direct correlation, or a simple one, but the effect is there.
- wruza 2y agoAgreed. What does this tell us in the context of this discussion? Returning to the initial point, should people just build more houses?
- lores 2y agoMore houses in locations people want to live in, yes. In the end, even leaving house prices aside, a larger population needs more housing, and the UK has been underbuilding several tens of thousands of units a year for decades.
- worthless-trash 2y agoI think you just proved my point.
