i don't quite get it

so, we're gunning for 6.9 million people and a GDP growth of 2 to 3% a year. what the past decade of growth has brought, as far as i can see, has been great congestion superimposed upon a groaning infrastructure upon a scaffolding of sky-rocketing inflation with an increasingly short-fused populace struggling to find the life in the work-life equation whilst navigating safety-hazardous subway systems or, if they are luckier, bangkok-style roadways. if GDP growth brings a slew of painful changes and little significant benefit, why are we so afraid of GDP contraction if it could mean a little more space a little less time on the roads and a little more time to breathe?
