Look up the Calhoun rat experiment and the "behavioral sink." Higher population densities invariably lead to psychological stress and pathological behavior. People's stress hormones get jacked up just from being around so many people. Then, when a percentage of those people are insane, drug addicts and/or pooping themselves in front of you, you actually go nuts.
