>>11360653Also, just to make it clear I'm not the person you were talking to. You keep asking for papers, what are you hoping to find? A metric someone has constructed for you? The main supply lines, residential layout, local demographics and land for farming and distribution, ability to load balance resource flow and supply X people distribute din X way needing to use such and such resources to function? It really isn't even a sensible request, there's too many factors. You'd be better off aggregating anecdotes then taking some even spatial distribution and sampling further.
Yeah, anyway. Are we overpopulated? Kind of. You often hear the claim the 95% of the US is rural open space, I don't know if this is exactly true because I live in a rural are and know it isn't feasible to crowd things into every square meter. The other aspect comes down to efficiency and waste. Most of our food is poisoned, then wasted, there is abhorrent disgusting level of waste. Do we have the resources and space for that level of farming, even if vertical or decentralized? How about transport? How about getting these actually built? You factor in daily life and economics and you get into public transportation and other factors, then high density housing and Agenda 21-esque solutions for long term scaling. It's not a matter of "citation pls".
