Well the way I see it is that with more people competing for fewer resources and becoming increasingly desperate to do so, the rich and powerful aren't going to want to see their lifestyles suffer. Right now it may be exclusive developments, gated communities or even private islands but none of those things will be of any protection from hordes of desperate people. No, they'll do whatever they can to protect themselves and those like them in exactly the same way as corporations do when they have politicians in their pockets in order to pursue favourable legislation. I do feel this will be the inevitable outcome of massive population growth and all that comes with it and key to that will be control of the things ordinary people rely upon in order to communicate, organise themselves, travel etc.
