Like, that’s kinda a typical NIMBY way to think. You’re saying “I don’t care about other people, what about my life?”, essentially.
If you ask for fewer people than now, everyone else could say “you go first”. Right? It only happens if somebody dies, and you’re failing on empathy a bit again if you don’t recognise that.
I don’t control the governments of other countries and cities. Every person is entitled to self determination. Your attitude is typical Western colonialist hubris.
I think it’s fair to say my quality of life has declined as my city has increased in population size. We might disagree about the solutions but I don’t think it’s fair to argue that I should never care about the quality of life of people already living in my city. Even just on a pragmatic level, that’s not a vote winner. I also think it’s fundamentally anti-human.
