I’m not sure I believe it. Who told you that...?

Everyone in the world could fit on a 1/4 acre each, just within the continental US.
Showing results for number of acres in the continental US
There are 1.9 billion acres of land in the continental United States.
I've heard it put this way:
Everyone on the earth, over 18, can own their own 2000 sq ft home. We could ALL live in Alaska with over 26,000 sq miles still empty. I don't know how accurate that is, but living in Canada I can tell you over 93% of our population lives near the border. We have millions and millions of empty acres here in Canada alone.
I guess you could do the math on that Alaska thing.
All I know is the math is correct for this: There are 1.9 billion acres of land in the continental United States. 8 billion people, so that's a 1/4 acre more or less, for each person. Imagine the entire rest of the world empty! For farming, hunting, fishing....
There's def enough space no matter it's 6 or 10 billion around right now.
100% agree
I love Alaska. There’s something special about it.. The Spirit.
It's just for reference. Do you know how large a 1/4 acre is? Can easily house 4 people with a garden.
So then you have 75% of the continental US uninhabited, along with the rest of the entire world empty!!!
Hold on. Stick with the logic.
Every human on earth can fit into 1/4 of an acre each on the continental usa.
If they have a house on a 1/4 acre there's room for a family of 4. With a garden. Easily. Source. Been there done that.
8 people. 1/2 Acre.
So basic math would that 75% of the continental us could be devoid of humans.
And.
The rest of the world would also be empty of humans.
Fuck the elites btw.
Answer my question.
Fifty eight
Yeah, I know it’s 58M. Just fucking with you.
Ok 58K then. I thought as much.
At least you had the balls to say it.
