Population increase

WHY do they want to keep increasing the population around here, building more and more flats and houses?

What constantly puzzles me is – where will all the extra water be coming from for people to use? They keep talking about the possibility of hosepipe bans in the spring, so what happens then, with all these extra people going to need water?

If they keep crowding the place out, I have visions of a lot of us having to use stand pipes in the road if we should happen to get a particularly dry summer. What a lovely thought!

Would someone like to answer this question, as I never hear it mentioned?
