That would depopulate the city? --Shak.

Note: It is not synonymous with laying waste or destroying,
being limited to the loss of inhabitants; as, an army
or a famine may depopulate a country. It rarely
expresses an entire loss of inhabitants, but often a
great diminution of their numbers; as, the deluge
depopulated the earth.
[1913 Webster]
