A number of articles on the economic situation claim that "natural
population growth" justifies and/or will absorb surplus housing starts
in the current market. In general, housing starts, i.e. new homes on
untouched land, are mostly about population growth, with the
expectation that it will never end.
But, there is nothing "natural" about annual world population growth
of 75,000,000, with U.S. population growth at 3,000,000 per year. If
any other large animal grew its numbers like Man, we'd call it a
plague and send in the troops.
Endless growth of any kind (except intelligence) on a FINITE planet is
UNnatural and should never be encouraged just to create construction
jobs.

Can one really be a productive member of a consumptive society?

Yeah. You'd think that those who care so much would be quick to exit.
But that's a hypocrisy of liberal/progressives. Moralists and
do-gooders. They want to use government to tell others what to do
while they continue to do as they please.
