I stand by the statement.

You'd don't get to conclude that having other people around is bad because there could be desperate people among them. Having other people around also delivers huge benefits, such as providing the gloriously diverse global economy that allows one to manufacture the Mars colony equipment in the first place.

I get a Galt's Gulch stench from some of these fantasies of Mars as sanctuary.
