Your conclusion doesn't neccesarily follow. At the population density of
Tokyo, we can fit 2 trillion people or so on the planet. Yet people still
move to Tokyo by choice, I might add.
Personally, I'd rather not live in Tokyo, but somewhere with a population
density of no more than 1% of that. So, lets not let world population rise
about 20 billion, ok?
