If you divided the square feet in Texas by the world's population, what would be the square foot area available per person?
Texas land area is: 261,232 square miles (http://www.texasalmanac.com/topics/facts-profile)
1 square mile = 640 acres: 261,232 x 640 = 167,188,480 square acres
1 acre = 43,560 square feet: 167,188,480 x 43,560 = 7,282,730,188,800 square feet
World Population: 7,000,000,000 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population)
Thus: 7,282,730,188,800 square feet divided by 7,000,000,000 people = 1040.39 square feet per person
Conclusion:
It occurs to me that if the world's population could fit inside an area the size of Texas giving each person 1000 or so square feet each to live in, that would put the ratio between all the people of the world to its resources in a mind-boggling skew in favor of people, thousands and thousands of times over. We are all Billionaires. So why does this planet have poor people? At all?
