The Western world is dying. The only reason many of those country’s populations are growing is from immigration. Conservative cultures that don't practice wholesale abortion are spreading their excess population wherever there is room. The US domestic population is growing slowly and many European countries have a negative population growth. However, if the bird flu realizes its full potential we won't hear of overpopulation for a while.

When I was in San Antonio texas I noticed a lot of sprawl; but I think it's better to be spread out into the country than packed in like sardines.
