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

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.
