But hey overpopulation is a fascist talking point so it must be wrong cause Jews aren't inherently evil.

Well idk about other places, but the amount of homes they've been putting in my area is ridiculous. Basically if there's a plot of land available, they're putting houses there to compensate for the larger population here. They just got done building a set of 6 or 7 houses right next to my old elementary school with only a sidewalk separating it. I hate it, personally. Too many people wanna live here now. What's funny is there is also a large percentage of people that end up leaving because they cant stand the weather.

Elon Musk is going to help us overpopulate Jupiter.

Actually almost every inch of arable land is being used for agriculture. Are you advocating for more urban sprawl or do we need to cram a few more million in places like Seattle? How many more Chicagos can we support?

Lol the Mid Cities region (Ft. Worth, Dallas and the surrounding cities) is huge. Westlake and Southlake even by themselves are two of the wealthiest areas in the state besides Austin. Not to mention Denton, Frisco and other places that are rapidly expanding.

You can drive from the panhandle to Miami back up to Jacksonville and it’s urban/suburban sprawl the entire way. Just that alone is an incredible ecological calamity. But wtf do people say? Oh there’s space in Oklahoma and Nebraska. I mean ffs. It’s hopeless.

None of it is wild. 100% of it being used to perpetuate human activity. Any organism that tries to exist in north Texas that competes with crops and livestock is exterminated by HUMANS.

Your arguments about “nothing in every direction” sound a lot like the **** the religious right says. That by itself doesn’t make you wrong but your commonality with the religious right is that you deny this truth because it threatens your ideology. Within the borders in the continental United States there’s almost no land that it isn’t being exploited by humanity. If you think north Texas has an abundance of nothingness set up a tent and see how long it takes for a farmer to call the police on your ass.

but no I mean there is still a ton of "holy **** I hope I don't break down out here" land in Texas

It sounded like you think it’s cool if we put a few more Houstons in Texas. It’s not.
