How about taking a look at a population density map.

How about giving me a clue? What is your point?


It's probably the old "How can there be too many people when there are
so many empty spaces"? Chestnut, used by some to imply that we have
alot of room to expand. The answer is simple.

If the land is crowded, you can't grow the crops.

If the land is in the middle of the Sahara, you can't have many people
living on it.

Same goes for Death Vally, Antarctica, The Canadian Arctic, jungles and
on and on.

In our area, Many farmers have sold off prime agricultural land for
housing development. After all, "someone else" will grow the food.
Problem is, the someone else sold off his land too.

When the places that are inhospitible to life are taken out of the
picture, it doesn't look quite so happy.
