"just keep having those babies" I don"t think that"s the problem. US birth rate is below 2.0 which means our population is slowly shrinking. (2.0 means staying constant; a couple has 2 children to replace them) A more likely problem is that more and more people are trying to crowd into certain areas ("more desirable"). I grew up in North Dakota and when I go back to visit that area I see most of the towns are dying and you can be sure no one is laying concrete on that farm land. The whole county where I grew up, now has a population of about 1800. When I was growing up there, the county seat town had over a 1000 people.

Don"t get me wrong, I"m fully in support of people who don"t want to see ag land taken for development of homes and businesses.

I haven"t actually studied US population growth so maybe it is still growing due to our large amounts of new folks coming in from other world areas that have higher birth rates.
