How many Americans are too many?

Does it at least have a downtown?

Not a conventional one. We have a smattering of skyscrapers on large lots, and an aging town-esque main street like thing.

Sounds to me like what you have there is the worst of both worlds - a densely packed suburb!

On a purely objective level, there probably are too many people in the US as there are on the planet as a whole, well, if one wants everyone to have a shot at a decent standard of living anyway, and probably for the sustainability of the planet. However, stopping immigration isn't going to solve that problem. It might paper over the cracks for a while but solving it, not a chance.

All this effort going into the 'hatred' against when it could be going into postive efforts for...oh well.

Thanks for putting some perspective back into the thread. Controlling positive immigration only goes so far. Standard of living is controlled by things more domestic like resource consumption, and we are sadly the world's worst consumers. At least numerically, if we want to keep our standard of living high, we are going to have to reduce the number of Americans consuming like there is no other thing to do on the planet. Or reduce the number of Americans. Change habits or change the people. People can take their pick.

Gotcha.

Oh yeah, a "small city" should have lots of early 1900's brownstones!

The city I live in now is considered a "small city" and it wasn't incorporated until 1960. No brownstones here, and 2903/sq mi.

way too busy for me. i opt for platy's idea.

ROFL!

All of my firepower is hidden away, off-site. Brits + guns don't work so well together.

Right now the entire planet's population (of humans) could fit inside Rhode Island.. with room to spare. The world ain't so crowded.
