I don't care about the global population. I care about how busy my neighbourhood is. I would prefer it to be less crowded and expensive. So fewer than the current number. Improvements would be a linear function.

Like, that's kinda a typical NIMBY way to think. You're saying "I don't care about other people, what about my life?", essentially.

If you ask for fewer people than now, everyone else could say "you go first". Right? It only happens if somebody dies, and you're failing on empathy a bit again if you don't recognise that.
