> Spain is perfect for this because it's mostly countryside

Every time there is free real estate, “let’s use it for terraforming.”

No. Let’s admit we are overpopulated and return more land to nature, before nature and wars do it naturally. It’s not because Spain is a half desert of sand that it’s not important for the Earth.

I live in France and I’m appalled that our ideology is both to be a welcome land for immigrants and “The young generation doesn’t have housing, let’s densify habitat and make fields constructible! It’s a human right!”

It’s a human right in direct contradiction with our kids’ human rights.

I am not clear where this alternative statement leads - "the young generation doesn't have housing, lets try euthanasia"?

“Let’s try not immigrating 400,000 people per year.” “Let’s try instead to raise our sons of farmers to high education levels.” One might notice it was the original values of the French Republic, you know, equal chances, climb the social ladder for everyone, solidarity in the face of changes, yadda yadda.

Our economic system demands unbound growth, and our governments seem to think that people exist to serve the economy rather than the other way around. If the economy demands more workers then the economy must be given more workers, even if that doesn't suit the desires of the populace or the needs of the environment. People who object on either ground will be called xenophobic or ecofascist.

I am looking at this from a global perspective, housing seems to be an issue atound the world. Immigration just moves around a fixed quantity.
