Population density is very strongly correlated with the level of leftism. The connection is people living in closer quarters experience more envy, which leads to more hate, violence, destruction, murder, war, and voting Democrat. The nature of envy is not to have what someone else has, but to destroy what they have. As America becomes more densely populated, it becomes more socialist. There is some level of population density that results in maximum happiness, and living in a human ant hill is not it. If the government wanted us to find happiness they would adopt policies that depopulate cities and spread everyone out. Spread the people, not the wealth.
Like dogs in cages, they're easier to control.
The dogs are lured into the cages with small pieces of free, red meat. Once trapped, freedom is gone, and all they offer to the dogs after that is a monthly brick of stale government cheese to gnaw on.
From that point on, the dependant dog learns to defend it's owner.
How about the government get the hell out of the way and let people live where they want?
Some people like living in greater density, some do not, some in the middle.
I don’t want the goverment to “depopulate” anything. I want the government to leave people alone.
