Currently the earth is overpopulated and many parts of the world are only just starting to slow their population growth. The problem of crowding is going to be here for awhile. Eventually it would be great if we could reduce our population to the point where there's plenty of space for all, if that sounds utopian to you, but for the time being we're going to have to live in denser areas if we want to deliver amenities and services to all (and we do).

Dense and (I guess I should have said or) urban areas. If these people are moving to the outskirts of metro areas, they're creating a dense, if not urban, community.

Basically the opposite of what you've suggested. Theoretically this is allowing the parliament to more closely align with what the EU elections suggest the people want. Obviously he's probably hoping that his party is voted back into power, indicating that France actually does support a pro-EU stance, but that's not guaranteed to happen.

No, it really isn't... being able to essentially declare no confidence in your legislature and immediately begin the election process is, in general, a great thing.

AWS was kind enough to cancel my S3 bill. However, they emphasized that this was done as an exception.
