"Nucleating due to over crowding is not a problem. Nucleating for catering individual's likes and dislikes creates problems."
I am not sure they are completely different, particularly because the definition of "crowd" is subjective. One can feel completely at home with a huge bunch of people but feel very suffocated in the company of even one or two people. So the feeling of overcrowding itself has its roots in the individual's likes and dislikes.

I think the one-couple-one-child policy is likely to redefine the joint family. Parents living with children and their children and so on. Vertically joint with strong filial bonds but no significant horizontal joints to speak of. Slowly brothers, sisters and consequently uncles, aunts, nephews and nieces would become rare species. Is this as scary as it sounds ? Perhaps we should chew on this....
