Over population is a huge problem. were i live, they had just built a new high school, and over 200 houses, in just one city. The high school is so over packed, they have to add on modules. The housing...... too over priced. too many homes are being built, and not everyone is able to buy a home. there are many hard working families that would love to get into a house, but can't afford it, or if they can, it's a run down house in the bad part of town. I live in Oregon, and now more than ever are we getting over populated. people coming from everywhere for job opportunities, and a better place to live.How is it supposed to be a better place to live if there is more people than jobs? The effect of that is harsh. The state helps support them, there for making it hard for working families to get help if needed.I believe that there should be a population control. I am not saying that we can't choose were we live, we just need some type of system to help control the population. Yes, i know there is already a system for foreigners, but what about the people that move from state to state? All I am saying is that it needs to be controlled, or there is going to be more homeless people than we can help
