Re: well Oh god.
First of all, excess population would lead to murders to take over homes. If the police allowed this, then that would become the norm, and any birth level would be absorbed by the murders, and demographic changes would be about 50 times faster than now (think: high-birthrate low-quality people would murder all the low-birthrate high-quality people, and then they'd be the only ones repopulating, rather than the current system where such activity is tempered to a slower rate).
However, if the police did not allow such homeowner-murder-takeovering, then there would be a disincentive to murdering existing homeowners so great that some would simply choose to learn not to have so many and early children, and others that had the option would avoid the country one way or another (illegal aliens leaving to their rightful country, others not becoming illegal aliens). In this scenario, after a few decades, equilibrium would probably go into a sort of malaise of lack of growth, but one which was coupled with sane policies of energy, quality, and self preservation, and things would improve over the current hell of cast systems and high-rapid-birthrate low-quality populations and such. But, just about any intrinsic improvement, however slight, is better than the current situation, so that's not much of a compliment to that means of achieving that. There are lots of better ways to make improvements to our lives, not the least of which is nuclear energy, which just by itself would fix most of our current ills.
Limiting the sale price of homes would therefore not necessarily be a good thing. |
