Region’s Population
In a region already unable to cope with the symptoms of overpopulation such as gridlocked freeways, homelessness, overcrowded schools and violence, the continued increase in population exacerbates these problems. Efforts to improve the quality of life by building more freeways or public transportation, building more schools and creating more jobs are nullified by a corresponding increase in population.
Nobody wants a lower quality of life to discourage population increase; surely voluntary birth control is preferable.
