Are there TOO many people nowadays?

The world is not overcrowded, it is a matter of distribution and managing resources. Of course building bungalows rather than two or three storied houses and making apartment dwellings family friendly instead of just single friendly has not helped either. I do not like long line especially when the one in front of you is using pennies instead of dollar bills, debit cards, or credit cards or checks.

I think the main problem is that we don't compensate for it well enough, we keep sticking to things of the past and expanding that. In example on the roads, we simply add another road someone in order to solve gridlocks and hope it works. Rather than stop creating more roads and creating alternative, faster forms of transportation which can handle a lot more people. Or housing being built relatively low and on small scale in a lot of places rather than up into the sky in buildings which have the capacity to live in a lot more well even if the plans for such buildings are there already.
