Long term fewer people may be a good thing.

Probably true but the "leveling off" phase might be quite painful. Less people to support the aging, whether support through social security or just assistance in hospitals, hospice, assisted living, etc. Also there will be less workers to do most everything as the population decline whether constructions, auto, etc. since the new hires won't match the retirees.
