No thanks. There's more to life than maximizing GDP. We don't need to cram ever increasing numbers of people into a couple of geographically constrained metropolitan areas.

People have preferences and agency.

Those people who want to be crammed (in return for higher income) should be allowed to cram.

As a nice side-effect, that leaves more of the rest of the world free for non-crammers.
