Everybody wants to go to the same few cities who are poppin and live there. That’s the problem. Of course people rather live in desirable big cities on the coasts with jobs, modern infrastructure, city services, nightlife, universities etc than in sparsely populated flyover states far away from everything and everyone.I don't think there needs to be limits in sparsely populated countries. They only serve to benefit those types of place. Means more population (less decline) more tax revenue (less need to raise taxes) and a more diversity of labor (not everyone is going to pick up the slack for every industry if you get rid of immigrant. American farmers are currently finding that out the hard way.
We live a country large enough to be home to 2 billion people easy without overcrowding and we currently only have half a billion. We have entire states considered fly over states because nothing is there. yet we are gatekeeping for no reason. at our own detriment.
I think 85% of australia is still pretty much wilderness. They have plenty of room to grow and industrialize more of the continent too.
Immigration doesn't need to be limited. Just guided to the right areas, places with the highest need.
