I can see it now... mansions packed wall-to-wall with tiny walk spaces between them as far as the eye can see.
Concentration Camp is the perfect analogy.
How will food be distributed?
How will trash be removed?
How will water be delivered?
How will sewage be removed?
Where will the police stations be?
How will order by maintained?
Where will the fire departments be?
What happens when just one of these "mansions" catches on fire? Remember the burning of Rome? Imagine that on the scale of Texas.
Where will people shop?
Where will people go for relaxation and recreation?

that sounds like some regurgitated B.S. I remember back in the 80's they would claim that every one who ever lived could be brought back to life and each person could have 2 acres on the new earth.

Thanks Lego! I'm sure that's the reference he had in mind. Unfortunately, it looks like he was just misquoting it, since it doesn't state anything truly erroneous. Stupid, but not erroneous.
I love the "mansion" bit. Most of your modern-day mansion-buyers are looking for a yard, driveway, perhaps a swimming pool. They are almost to a man NOT looking for having the next mansion down from them being half an inch away. And another one in front. And so forth.
They would probably also prefer not to have to take a 1200-mile helicopter ride to the nearest Wal-Mart!
This mathematical mess serves a purpose, but it certainly doesn't address a question about overcrowding.

Even if it could, it doesn't sound like much of a "paradise".
neither does the idea of spending eternity on a stinking half acre in Texas lousy with people, screaming kids, wolves, lions and mosquitoes. Ever been in Houston in July? That's no Paradise, my friends.
Add this to the other news about no sex and.................
well, thanks Dave, for ruining my day

This is so typical of the wt. The quote from an esoteric magazine - that may or may not have any creditability. In addition, they do not provide sufficient information to verify the reference or the application of the citation.
