    It’s better than driving the state budget into the ground, though I still think that it’d be better to get the birth rate up to a sustainable level.

      Having children means finding a large enough and affordable house, which is a nightmare in most cities with a lot of competition. Then you have to pay for childcare, extra food, extra utilities and other expenses. This would ruin a lot of young people who don’t earn a lot or already struggle with money, and don’t have rich parents to back them up.
