While it's true that those who win never quit, and those who quit never win, those who never win and never quit are idiots.

if you took every single man woman and child in the world right now and gave them all 1/4 of an acre in Australia, there would still be an area the size of south Queensland left over spare.

'The total area of Australia is 2,941,299 square miles.
There are 640 Acres per square mile
So if you multiply 2,941,299 x 640 the answer is 1,882,431,360 Acres'

times that by 4 (as you are giving a quarter of an acre to each) and you have enough room for 7,529,725,440 people.

Currently the world has around 7,180,055,000 people.

A quarter of an acre is around 1000 square metres.

What does the chart mean?
China is below average density and if everyone in the world lived like them, we would require 1.1 worlds?

If everyone used the same resources and ate the same amount of food as these countries, we would need the amount of land indicated on the globe...

So if all 7 billion people used and ate as much as a typical chinese person, we would need 1.1 x the world in land.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis. Topics unsuitable for the main forum may be discussed in the lounge. You agree you won't use this forum to post material that is illegal, private, defamatory, pornographic, excessively abusive or profane, threatening, or invasive of another forum member's privacy. Don't post NSFW content. Racist or ethnic slurs and homophobic comments aren't tolerated. Accusing forum members of serious crimes is not permitted. Accusations, attacks, abuse or threats, litigious or otherwise, directed against the forum or forum administrators aren't tolerated and will result in immediate suspension of your account for a number of days depending on the severity of the attack. No spamming or advertising in the main forum. Spamming includes repeating the same message over and over again within a short period of time. Don't post ALL CAPS thread titles. The Advertising and Promotion Subforum may be used to promote your Australian property related business or service. Active members of the forum who contribute regularly to main forum discussions may also include a link to their product or service in their signature block. Members are limited to one actively posting account each. A secondary account may be used solely for the purpose of maintaining a blog as long as that account no longer posts in threads. Any member who believes another member has violated these rules may report the offending post using the report button.
