lol. if the bay area population was even close to a tipping point, humanity would be gone by a long time now. there are million of places with more population density and happier people.

I'm talking global population, not local. If we reduce the global population (by strict birth control) by a factor 1000, I bet you won't see any of these problems.

This is a local problem, not a global problem. I fail to see how reducing population in Tokyo, Japan would solve a housing crisis that exists in San Francisco...

Reduce the population by a factor 1000, then evenly spread out the human population over the habitable areas.

Also, it is a local solution, if SF had 1000 times fewer people current problems wouldn’t exist either.
