Reply #55: Overcrowding is a symptom

of overpopulation. It will continue until the birthrate drops.

Personally, I don't want to legislate how many people live in a building. I can see that people who choose single-family housing would be upset. I wonder if the value of their home drops? Of course, if homes were homes, instead of assets; if real estate wasn't a commodity, then that wouldn't be part of the issue.

I have extended family living in my home, and expect it to be that way for the rest of my life. I had 2 blessed years living alone, and I actually loved the peace and privacy. I also know that joining resources helps us to stay stable, and I think that having extended family under one family roof is going to become more and more common.
