You are right (because out of control overpopulation is almost always a precursor species extinction event, true for any species in this planet, no reason why it isn't true for humans) and I agree with you. Population control is hard because most of democracies believes that reproductive rights is a basic human right, government cannot control it or take it away.
But one country AFAIK, China, did it (control population via fiat) and got overwhelmingly criticized all over the world. But in hindsight, China probably won't make it without it - still barely making it with 1.5 billion people today.
The total cost of human living is the entire cost of basic needs (food, water, waste management etc.), education, social, interactive and the change of natural environment, a lot folks forget about that bigger picture.
