Peak experiences, fresh air:

I moved to a site some 1/8 of a mile from the sea in  Cornwall (UK) 21 years
ago and still appreciate the fresh air. I only have to go a for a few miles
along the inland road system to realise how appalling the air is in most
places.

Crowding

The concentration of people in cities is orders of magnitude than the
overall crowding on the planet. I haven't noticed medical treatment being
withheld in the cities, so even if the overall level of crowding reached the
peak values observed in cities, compulsory euthanasia is unlikely to result.
A cryopreserved patient capable of reanimation is just another patient,
after all. The Internet could well reduce the need for cities and in
population may be more evenly spread in future.
