I agree that overpopulation is a myth.

If you take the world's population, put them 4 to a home, and put each home on a quarter-acre lot, you could fit the entire world's population into an area about twice the size of Texas. And that's without any condos.

The rest of the world could easily sustain the population. The problem is distribution of resources and that is a problem of government. Places where people are starving also have corrupt politician thieves, as well as corrupt economic ideas that keep people poor.

Do you actually believe that if everyone was living by the current Western standards, it'd actually be sustainable?
