Yes, the birth rates are higher where the birth rates are higher, but you could do this with any city - find some enclave that's doing better than the rest on whatever metric. Sydney as a whole is below replacement fertility just like every other large westernized city, and the trend is down, not up.

Birth rate in Sydney is down to 1.62 and falling as of 2021, and is lower than in NSW in general. Well below replacement. https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/baby-drought-the-suburbs...

Of course they do, though not to a big company like Google for something trivial like this when they could pay a bit of money. Threats aren't cost free.

It means increasing food prices specifically for foods that require extensive irrigation, and are likely ill-suited for the region they are being grown except for water subsidies, e.g. almonds in California. So it means shifting agriculture towards more sustainable crops, increased prices for some specific foods, and likely reduced water prices for the average consumer.
